    Sending the government anything official (like passport or jury summons response) through the post should include free shipping for letter sized envelopes.

      free

      Not free, paid for with taxes. And as we all know, all taxation is theft. Except for the roads I need to drive my lifted truck on.

      Wait, you have to pay to send your government official stuff?? Anytime the government wanted me to send them anything (mail-in votes, tax return) they include a free envelope with shipping paid (the netherlands).

        Well, if OP is from the US we typically have to pay at just about any interaction with the government.

        They haven’t managed to charge us to vote yet, but I genuinely can’t think of any other meaningful, direct interaction I’d have with a government office that doesn’t involve me playing money.

        Edit for clarity: by paying money, I mean by a means other than taxes.
