    This story has it all the infallible private sector, an assault rifle, multiple laws broken, and one very confused private citizen that just wanted a TV. Well the efficient private sector that NEVER screws up got together with our wonderful gun laws and dumped a royal mess in the lap of a law abiding citizen.

    Link.

    Too bad. Had he used the post office this wouldn't have happened. Live and learn I guess. I actually use USPS a lot for my shipping needs. They are cheaper and if they miss you you just have to go to your local post office to pick up the item. You don't have to deal with some stupid voice prompt BS or wait around all day for the UPS guy to show up or drive half way across the county to some dingy UPS office. Frankly for shipping things out I haven't used anyone else in years.

    What a stupid (*)(*)(*)(*)ing indictment on the private sector. Let's celebrate the bankrupt post office. Maybe the DMV if we have enough time. Yay Government!

    Relax. The private sector is a big kid. No one is going to hurt it. Lol. Just illustrating how absurd it is to claim the private sector is so head and shoulders better than the government. Each has its tasks and I've experience good and bad service with both. Maybe going forward people will have a more balanced view.

    Call me when these private sector companies are over 5 billion in the red and are allowed to continue operating.

    The only reason the USPS is in the red is that a bunch of republicon scumbags decided to push through a law that required them to fully fund their pension system in cahs for 75 years in advance. Does the parasite capitalist sector have to do that? Does any government function have to do that? Does this look like a good way to destroy the USPS so that the GOP bastards can sell the post offices along with pension fund to a private firm who has no obligation to maintain that fund?

    Public sector socialists accusing the private sector of acting as a "parasite". Oh that's rich. Who funds the public sector, again?

    "Fix" human error in the private sector with more equally fallible, yet utterly unnaccountable, ARMED authoritarians.

    Genius.

    Big Fed is the progressive left's omnipotent deity....they prove it every day.

    Find me a single post from anyone on here who said the private sector is infallible.

    Go ahead Jeb. Back up your BS just one time and shock us all.

    Your moronic title only proves liberals don't have a honest bone in their body.

    But when you don't have morals I'm sure its far easier to make OPs like that.

    Peddling propaganda, fraud and deceit is their forte, progressive leftists....with no referenceable founding American document to support their collectivist agenda, and no moral compass to present ethical barriers to those ends...

    it's all they have.

    Moral of the story, humans screw up and should never be trusted 100% of the time.

    The thing I love about the private sector is if someone providing me with a good or service screws up I can tell them to go walk and find someone else who will provide the service better. If I cannot I have the option of becoming a competitor to the incompetents and running them out of business. When government screws up I don't have any recourse but to grab my ankles, say thanks and hope I can sit without too much pain for the next few weeks.

    The private sector is for those who want options, public sector is for those who either don't care or honestly believe that someone out there cares so much about them they won't possibly do something harmful to them... in other words the naive.

    Let us know what private company is capable of running a nation, let alone staying in business for over 225+ yrs.

    Good luck with that!
    Old Jeb used two statements (1.infallible private sector, 2. private sector that NEVER screws up) he made up to write a post debunking his own statements. Now that's (*)(*)(*)(*) desperate.

    Let me know when private sector businesses can knock on your door, point a gun at you, drag you off in handcuffs, and lock you in a cage for not contributing to their revenue stream.

    Let me know when private sector businesses can print their own operating capital.

    and what part of unsustainable overhead, 16 trillion dollar debt and 1.3 trillion deficits can be defined as "staying in business"?

    ONE rifle mistakenly delivered via shipping error= Private Sector.

    THOUSANDS of WEAPONS provided to MExican Drug Cartels, some of which used in the MURDERS of US AGENTS,and hundreds of Mexicans= Government


    What was your attempted "point" again...?

    Let us know when they have the opportunity to do that. Maybe they won't (*)(*)(*)(*) up and put the country 16 trillion in debt like your hero the Government did.

    I understand the loyalty you must have considering they sign your paychecks, but get real.

    This is a really, really poor case for central planning. Good try.

    Can UPS just investigate themselves and cover it up like Operation Fast and Furious?

    Yep, I am persuaded!

    We need to ban all guns because the infalliable(WTF???) private sector sent a gun to the wrong address.

    This twisted liberal logic is an eye opener isn't it? Just how nuts is the left?

    That's a bit extreme. Even the people from the left posting in this thread wouldn't say that. Why do you think we should ban all guns?

    How about 50 yrs in business. The national debt and a private business are mutually exclusive. If they weren't as you charge, then they all would be going under.
