wes about: inefficiency
Cathryn, the local news has a "You Paid For It" segment and 2 nights ago they tackeld this very thing (that commercial they've been running w/ Ed Bagley Jr cost $2.5 mil). They interviewed the head of the WNY census board and he said that they attach an $85mil value to every 1% increase in census response. I don't understand how they do that, or if you can believe his #'s. But assuming he knows what he's talking about then it was probably a good investment. I shared the exact same outrage you did until I saw that.
wes about: inefficiency
I know the Post Office can't make $ (probably because of disgusting union contracts and less people using it due to tech) but can you really argue that they aren't efficient? I mean holy shit you can send anything anwhere in what, 4 day s max? I can overnight anything to anywhere for a price. Aren't they obscenely efficient?
Cathryn about: inefficiency
Not on topic at all, but dealing with inefficiency and mail...does anyone else think it is ridiculous that we get a letter telling us that next week we will be receiving the 2010 census so we should be on the lookout for it? How much does it cost to send a letter telling us that they are sending the census?
