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.

@randahl It's not "unregulated", it's planned capitalism, since your neighborhoods spread across huge areas, you can't have e.g. shops around the house and only "strip malls"...
And no automated postal boxes, like in Europe.
And of course dependency on vehicles and oil. As "true" capitalism loves.
