Episode 16 – Going Postal
Ep. 16: Going Postal

Along with it, a should be long dead meme of “only the government can provide a public service like mail delivery” once again reared its ugly head. We take that meme head on and give you the Econ 101 reply to destroy this meme when it eventually pops up again in the future to justify government waste.
