Oh, right. It's the UN version of it. Sort of like the way they populate "peacekeeping" forces with pedophile rapists, they similarly assign total halfwit morons to "think tanks".<br /><br />*Never Mind*.<br /><br />It's patently OBVIOUS that you could get cell phone service easier than you could a functional toilet. The infrastructure expense differences between the two are enormous. And NOT in favor of the toilet. I don't have numbers to prove it but I'd lay good odds that the expense difference, in PPP dollars, is probably greater than 10:1 -- and most likely much higher -- 100:1 would not surprise me.<br /><br />Just some casual thought about it makes it obvious. A functional toilet requires a massive plumbing outlay, water and sewage processing facilities, and all the far from trivial investment in materials that involves, as well as continuously substantial overhead operating expenses.<br /><br />Cell phone service requires the user and the provider to make a certain up-front investment in equipment (which is still going to be FAR less than that for functional toilets), then everything from that point is a fraction of the total costs involved.<br /><br /><b>I mean, f***ing <i>DUH</i>...</b><br /><br />What the hell does it take to get one of these cushy UN jobs that clearly requires no <b>intellectual capacity</b> of any kind... a <i>lobotomy</i>?OBloodyHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992539380115488567noreply@blogger.com
