Quote from TGregg:

He's not wise. He's reasonably intelligent, just has not yet had the experience required to make him a full fledged econ madman. I mean, heck I'm bright. Top 2% of IQ. But when I was morganist's age, I still didn't know #@&#, Give him 20 or 30 years and he might well know a lot.

How do you know I'm not wise?

You should she my family tree. Seriously PHD's, First Class Honours, Leaders in their fields. No shit I am not lying. You would be impressed.

This is a fine example of how I know you are not wise. Wisdom is not genetic. Intelligence has a fair amount of genetic components but knowing things has none. One gains wisdom by learning, by observing. There are very few (if any) wise 19 year olds.

EDIT: Dumb flatfish experiements notwithstanding. Plus, I never could get it to work anyways. :D

Seriously? I mean, 28 Earth years? Wow. Maybe you got a late start. One hopes. I can't go back and have a conversation with my 28 year old self, but I do know I had a fair amount of dumb ideas still ingrained. To the point that I assume that I have at least some still remaining that will become apparent down the road.

28? Maybe that is a sign of how much more mature I have become. If so, I would offer to you that there is an astonishingly long road ahead. I mean, I knew it was long, but if I have come this far already, holy cow.

I wish I had known how much could be gained when I was a lad. I'd sure like to pick my grandfather's brain.

Do you mean I am unwise or that all people 28 are unwise. If it is me why do you think I am so unwise.
 
Quote from S2007S:

Postal officials have called for Congress to change the way USPS operates, saying it needs more flexibility to close failing post offices, cut Saturday delivery and raise rates.

The agency is studying about 3,700 of its 32,000 post offices, stations and branches for possible closure. Officials plan to replace post offices by contracting with private retailers to sell stamps, offer shipping and provide other postal services.

Back to the topic on hand.

The most interesting idea I heard is to reduce mail delivery to twice a week. There would be 3 categories, Monday and Thursday delivery, Tuesday and Friday delivery and finally Wednesday and Saturday delivery. You could then fire about 66% of the letter carriers since mail delivery would only be provided to one-third of the USA addresses on any given day.

Not sure if the Postal Union would go for an idea like this, but I think it would reduce their costs...

In England we used to have to deliveries a day. First post then a later post. They stopped the first post and then said that the second post would come any time that day. They also changed it so first class was not first class anymore and you have to pay more for next day delivery.

wisdom comes late if ever comes to most people. when will you will recognize that the US is going through the same stages similar to the Argentina collapse?
