That Is Not What Happened

“Utkörning till mottagare” translates to: “Delivery to recipient” that is the service that the sender ordered and I being the receiving customer subsequently paid for.

However, I’m quite sure that I don’t live in the local convenient store and therefore the recipients’ address can’t be mine either.

This is not the first time it happens quite the contrary it happens every single time and it does so without exception.

I’m convinced there are words describing that behaviour and action; they are fraudulent and fraud.

98 EPG Paket courtesy of: Postnord another success story in the fantastic on-going experiment of so-called de-regulation* of market guided by the: lower-cost-better-customer/citizen-service-no-personal-cuts-and-increased-profit dogma. And no matter how many times it is proven wrong it never stop being applied again, that would be the dogma part.

My claim is the following: de-regulating a former monopoly inevitably leads to either a failed service or an oligopoly and increased cost for the consumers/citizens. Postnord was formerly known as “Postverket” and used to be a government agency responsible for providing postal services in Sweden.

In Sweden de-regulation has failed in any and all the sectors that I can come to think of: national and public transport, infrastructure maintenance, healthcare, pharmaceutical, education, electricity market, sanitation, communication, motor-vehicle inspection, etc.

I have in fact called for one, just one counter example and have been doing so for a very long time to no avail.

*I would like to add that I have very little formal economic education. It is beyond my comprehension that there’s an actual Nobel Prize in Economics.
