Socialized system vs capitalized system: The capitalist comes in and uses their venture capital to undercut the socialized system so that people stop using it. Once the socialized system loses interest and funding or are otherwise out of the picture, they they jack their prices up way higher than the original and because they're the only game in town, they get to keep those record profits in effective perpetuity.
Are you trying to imply UPS/FedEx is a socialized system?

Average american. Don't you know? Capitalism is when good and when not good, that's ~~communism~~ socialism.
Socialism is when the workers own the means of production, not when the government does stuff.
Socialism is when the government does stuff and the more it does the more socialist it is, and if you do enough of it, that's communism.

I make it intentionally hard to tell where I line up politically so people get punished for trying to find out if I'm on their side instead of just addressing the point i'm making.
So you didn’t read the meme then? Can’t you see no one specified which postal service vs Uber Eats???????
