@scottalanmiller and I'm sure that the way NTG is run perfectly mirrors the way government offices are crawling, right?

Government would definitely use computers for janitors. They need to get notifications from the feds that aren't in the building.

Like most things in social media, this seems to work the opposite for me. I've never gotten upset and walked away from social media. But platforms like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn I just find insanely boring and don't draw me in at all. I keep them all for when I need them for something, but I never look at them and feel like "looking at them more."
The same with the ads, I find that none of these manage to show me ads of the slightest interest to me. It's as if their algorithms can't even begin to figure me out and just do totally random things.

That's a first step, but it's the post office they really need to crack down on. Bunch of incompetent thieves at the USPS. I've had WAY fewer issues with UPS or FedEx.

yeah, I'm not seeing an issue here. Seems like a good thing. Less shrinkage means better pricing.

While true, it is not the headline. It is his reinterpretation of it.
That is always what I have issue with.
