I don’t entirely disagree with that, but, it wasn’t the ONLY criteria I mentioned, you just happened to cherry pick that.

I never mentioned “profit”. Excess income in publicly owned services can be re-invested in the service for example.

Publicaly owned services are not immune to the changing environment in which they exist. Change is inevitable, and, did happen, even in the case of Royal Mail’s utopian past.

Most of your post was about the Post Office share price and dividends.

Yes, that is true.

Clue, it was a reply to a post referencing Post Office Shareholders and Dividends, which the Poster appeared to be particularly upset by.

The Dividend is currently just over 6%, so, just a little more than what could be made in a fixed rate saving account, at the moment.

So, I don't really feel I missed out, indeed, I feel I dodged a bullet.

This reply tells me everything.
