Shit that shouldn't be around still, but is

[Doug]

The post office lost $3.8 billion last year, despite cutting 40,000 full-time positions and making other reductions, and Kearney said it is facing a $7 billion loss for this year and the same for fiscal 2011, which begins in October. The rate increase would bring in $2.5 billion, meaning there still would be a large loss for next year.

find anywhere in the world where a business can remain in business losing nearly $20 billion in 3 years.

another thing that should be added to the list:

UNIONS!!!!!!!

Post office finances are complicated by a requirement that the agency make annual payments of more than $5 billion to fund future health benefits for retirees, something not required of other government agencies. The post office avoided financial disaster last year only after Congress allowed it to delay $4 billion of that payment.

is there a more toxic combination in the known universe than government and unions?

and I quit that job !

I probably would have killed somebody if I stayed, but had 5+ years in.

Desktop computers, laptops should have ended their reign by now. Just a few that come to mind.

We've had the technology to replace desktop computers for over 10 years now. I still don't know why we have them in any business. Thin clients are much more reliable. Who needs to store files on a desktop when hard drives always fail and are a bitch to back up remotely?

Along these same lines:

Software that doesn't run in an Internet browser.
Why have any software run independently? Just have thin clients that run Internet browser software only. It's what the world will be going to eventually.

You hate religion so much. That is all you ever talk about at this forum.
You hate it so much, but you love to talk about it...

It is true that I think Religion is worthless for the most part. And it's probably the most over rated thing in human history. This is why I talk about it so much. But to say that it's all I ever talk about at this forum is completely ridiculous. Look at my last 100 posts or so... In how many of them do I even mention Religion? Maybe 3 tops? That's kind of a stretch to say that it's all I ever talk about. It's just the only thing that you ever remember me talking about. Also, notice that Religion wasn't the only thing that I mentioned in this post and it wasn't even the first thing. I also didn't rank it #1 although maybe I should have.
