Naked Economist? Naked of logic

This blog was originally a reaction to my local media's coverage of local schools, but I just can't help commenting on the Naked Economist's nonsensical rant about the United States Post Office. He even gets in a dig about public education with a question that is nothing more than a presupposition and a false analogy with a question mark tacked on. Here is the comment I left at the bottom of Charles Wheelan's "Naked Economist" blog:

Sure, let's get mad at the postal service and their "inefficiency" at delivering for very little money anything, anywhere, and correctly 99.9% of the time. Your evidence is pathetically anecdotal and seeped in hyperbole, no doubt. Let's NOT get angry at the inefficiency of PRIVATE corporate American companies who pay their CEO's billions while delivering substandard products and outsourcing their labor to China because paying a living wage to an American would cut into their 400 million dollar severance package when they get fired for incompetence. Let's not get angry at PRIVATE big oil for record billion dollar profits and record high prices at the pumps. Let's not get angry at the inefficient use by PRIVATE companies of scarce resources. How many patents of extremely efficient, alternative energy products have been bought and shelved by PRIVATE fossil fuel companies? You're right. Let's get mad at YOUR mailman because you say so, and scrap the best deal Americans have ever had. Imagine what FedEX or UPS would charge for the same services if the USPS was not their competition. Price fixing and gouging would abound. Inefficiency would reign and CEOs would profit at the expense of the many. THAT'S what privatizing is really about.
