Listen to this conversation between a guy disputing his Verizon bill
with a Verizon rep AND then the Verizon supervisor. The Verizon people
simply cannot understand the difference between 0.002 cents and $0.002,
thus they charged him 100x what they should have. In the end, the
supervisor calls it a "difference of opinion"(!).
How can the republic--and our liberties along with it--survive with this sort of thing going on?
Remember
Pareto's Principle, or the 80/20 rule. This rule is that a minority of
input produces the majority of results. I suspect that 20% of the
population is carrying the other 80%. Twenty per cent work hard.
20% are competent. 20% pay almost all of the taxes.
That is not what made America great.
