At some point in the early-1990s....I moved from a player-mode to a manager-mode, and then came the realization that you had to go and attend meetings. Some were a mere fifteen minutes long and drilled quickly down into the issue, and were worthwhile as a meeting. Some were 90 minutes long, and basically accomplished next to nothing. I came to value most meetings as worthless.
At some point around 2002 to 2004....I probably was wasting four hours a week in meetings. In 2010 to 2013.....as a manager within the Pentagon empire, I was lucky to get myself down to 180 minutes per week. The only enjoyable meeting each week in that last year was the building custodian meeting where all kinds of building renovation or history came out from the chief of the Pentagon building.
I brought this up years ago with a older guy who could remember the 1970s era, and how there were rarely meetings. In his mind, when the internet and computer era arrived....meetings increased. As he pointed out.....more people wanted 'stock' ownership in decisions made, and success from meeting decisions rarely paid dividends.
At some point about fifteen years ago....I worked with a female who had a husband who had a degree in business management (the master's degree), and he had weekly meetings with his staff (the wife, and the two kids). One of the kids was a teenager and had become anti-meeting....thus causing friction in the household. The wife tried to explain to the husband that these meetings were not of much value, and instead got lectured on the necessity of a 'focused-team'. I asked the co-worker how would this all end, and she felt the kid would be out the door as soon as she graduated from high-school.
As much as I hate to suggest it....meetings have turned into some kind of rocket-science.

Why Iran Keeps Adding Layers Of More 'WAR'
As a kid....I noted that probably 3 or 4 dimwits existed in my class, and it didn't matter how things were explained....they just didn't 'get it'. We'd go to a second details-explained situation....a third details-explanation situation, and even a fourth details-explanation situation.
Years later....I would associate this to a low IQ.
Iran simply runs....as a nation....with authorities mostly geared toward a 75-IQ, and if you said something would occur tomorrow....to cut-off power/electricity for 6 weeks....they wouldn't see a big deal.
If you said all gas stations would only sell 10 liters of gas per week....again, no big deal.
The problem here....they've had 50 years to built the nation into a land run by the Three Stooges. Trump calls up, and it's either Curly, Larry, or Moe answering the phone.
The funny thing? Persia....before Mohammad came along....probably was the most advanced country on the face of the Earth.
How Was The 'Faces and Phone Numbers' Program Connected to Charlie Kirk and TPUSA?
Well...it's a '10' on the conspiracy BS.
Apparently, some US intelligence agency....had gotten into a surveillance 'game' with Kirk's TPUSA....where they would catch 'faces' at these Kirk events, and have cellphone numbers collected.
There is some belief that toward the last month of life...Kirk was figuring some of this out.
Illegal? Well....yeah.
Odds that this was active on 6 Jan 2021? I started to ponder upon this.
Requiring a massive data storage point? Yeah....that's another part of this story.
On my BS-meter? It started out as a '10'....I'm probably lowering this to a '5' now.
If 2020's Election Was Corrupted, What Else Was Screwed-Up?
President Trump on Thursday night....will talk over the corrupted vote in 2020.....so I sat and pondered from the Senate races...what else occurred?
The two Senate races in Georgia? Perdue lost to Ostoff. Loeffler lost to Warnock (both were 2-point margins)
Michigan? James lost to Peters. (1.68 margin)
Arizona? McSally lost to Kelly (3 points)
So the odds....in the three states....4 Senate seats were corrupt-voted? I'd say it's higher than a 50-percent chance.
Fixing this? How? There's no Senate rule for a mess like this.
