In my neighborhood, I often see parcel delivery trucks from 5 different transport companies wasting energy to drive to the same homes on the same day.

This is unregulated capitalism.

Then comes trash day, and 1 company arrives with 1 garbage truck and empties all the trash cans in 1 go.

This is regulated capitalism.

The municipality decided only 1 company could win the garbage truck service job. They offer up the job every couple of years, 1 company wins, and we all save CO2 emissions.

Just don't give the contract to the cheapest bidder.

They just leave my package in the driveway when it's raining, nicely soaked, visible to everyone, for anyone to grab, just because the drivers are treated badly and are under so much pressure that they don't have time to walk to the front door.

Regulate subcontractorism in favour of the working people too.
