It has come to your attention that there is some serious debate over whether Shaylion's postal service should be either privatized or nationalized.
The Debate

1. "The postal system ought to be privatized," says Sashona Suzuki, Director of PostHaste, a small package delivery company. "All the government is doing is putting the tax Golden Lions of hard-working citizens into an outmoded and wasteful system. Private businesses can offer a much more efficient system with less junk mail. A little more expense on stamps is worth that right?"

2. "Uh huh? And what about those in rural or remote areas?" asks Anne-Marie Giono, the CEO of Shaylion Mail, the government-owned postal service. "If you privatize this business then they'll get marginalized and ignored. With a nationalized service everyone can use the system and cheaply too. We provide a good service for our customers and have been doing so for a very long time! The postal service should be nationalized and all competition banned!"

3. "There's plenty of room for compromise," says Billy Washington, a stamp collector. "How about we just privatize the mail system and allow other competitors to move in but continue with government funding to Shaylion Mail? That way everyone can get their post and the companies can have their own slice of the pie. It'll require an increase in tax to cope with losses to competition but not too much. I think. To be frank, I just want more stamps."

Okay. I haven't encountered it before, but there were many similar ones; I'll take a look now.

It did appear on my main account. I don't quite remember, but I think I nationalized it back then. After all, I have socialism on my main account.

When I completely banned it in some places, my happiness decreased (which can be explained), but health didn't change at all (which is strange).

I should have compared the causes of death; ideally, there would be fewer deaths from cancer.

I dismissed two issues in a row.
In the first, they proposed allowing gladiatorial fights with human sacrifices. Honestly, I don't care if someone enjoys it, let them fight to the death (besides, they promised it would boost the private sector of the economy), but to make it a national pastime? Gross!
The other answer options were even worse – completely ban it or force prisoners to participate in gladiatorial fights.
I don't remember the second one, but it was also unrealistic.

They should have compared the causes of death; ideally, fewer people would be dying from cancer.

No one died because of him.

I approved the second option, although I don't remember what changed, but it's possible that the order was improved. It was written that the dungeons are now empty.

They suggest either privatization, nationalization, or a compromise.

I warn you, nationalization will lower the corresponding industry by several points. In my case, the information technology sector dropped from 2 or 3 to -1.

I specifically monitored this. After smoking was allowed again, not a single death from cancer occurred. Strange, but it's a fact.

Perhaps it depends on the level of healthcare development at the time the decision is made. If it is at a high level, then there are no negative consequences, as there is compensation. If it is low, then a negative consequence appears. In my case, there are only three remaining causes of death for people.

Shaman, privatize it, it will be fine.

Just a heads-up, nationalization will lower the corresponding industry by several points. In my case, information technology dropped from 2 or 3 to -1.

Ah, so that's the problem with the Russian Post...

I spent three of my points on the high jump. I removed the information about the remaining bonuses from the main post because it's inconvenient to format there.

They claim to be moralists, but look how well they handle the pole!

and besides, I have educated people who are capable of distinguishing between different types of creatures.

It seems that modern doping doesn't help much.
