“productivity” isn’t just a matter of how much “stuff” you get done, it is how much useful stuff you get done.

In gov, you may do as much “stuff,” for the same money but it isn’t necessarily useful stuff. It’s just stuff someone made up as something that needs to get done, with little value added.

In the private sector, the amout of useless stuff that can get funded is limited by the revenue of the business.

I was with you a bit for a while there sdr, but those Nov. numbers are quite bad. Looking at Rich’s graph in the latest rodeo, the last two years Nov and Dec were about on par with Oct. To see Nov drop like that makes me wonder if your initial premise (that sales are strong) isn’t falling out from under you. If Dec is in line or worse than Nov, I think we are through with this little sales bounce.

Of course, aggregate info and market-by-market info can vary wildly and I know you hang out in NoCo.

That should be a T-shirt or official slogan or something.

Post of the year, perhaps.

Now that we have voting, we really should have a post of the year …
