The entire "public is less efficient than private" lie that had been repeated so often that everyone now believes it is just that. A lie. The reality is that private industry is far more efficient at corrupting and side stepping morality issues in the quest for a dollar.
Spooner and his American Letter Mail Company's challenge to the postal monopoly at least brought prices down (temporarily). Competitive pricing is moral. Monopoly under threat of caging is immoral. Any questions?
History is a funny thing, sometimes it even makes people who thinks there are "lies" out there have a nice tasty bite of crow.
