The trickle down effect is distinctly brown in nature. Anything worth having and the cup doesn't runneth over.

Im all for people making money, but thats an important factor "making money" a lot of problems are through inherited wealth and once you have a certain amount its nearly impossible to not be able to invest to end up being a non productive member of society. Controversial proposal but i think inheritance should be abolished or at least capped, there probably would be problems that would come from that but these families are the 1% and passing that wealth down each generation.

You may see me as a nutcase

As a human being on this very small planet... I see myself.......Kind hearted, honest and there for others.... and what's happening to the company.... for the love of bits of paper to the wealthy is cruxifying delivery...

So Call me what you want..... clearly your intellect is microscopic...

Its going tits up fast


And its all to do with making a big fat profit and running the service into oblivion. Leaving the 2nd wave of mech because it turns up late....skimming? Leaving mail-sort mail behind in the frames just so they don't have to pay someone else to do the lapsing....wilful delay?

Even the indoor work plans are unmanageable. Its all designed to punish the efficient and reward the inefficient so that it balances everything out.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.
