Why does a census with a significantly digital and telephone based component, cost $6 million? If I engaged 200 people for 1 month and tasked them to call the 100,000 households in this nation, paralleled by online submissions, that equates to roughly 6 calls per person, per day. Pay them each $3,000 for 1 month's unskilled work, grand total: $600,000 that's just telephony, online participation should reduce the total household calling. How we get to $6 million?

Or purchase an epirb as required by local regulations. Would've been picked up within hours of beacon activation. Glad he's okay, but the typical local boater is often ill prepared to set to sea.

This is exactly what I did over 2 years ago. Cruising around for free. Good thing I do my own assessments instead of listening to lemmings like "Tribanon"

What he mean by "nothing came out of it"? It was a photo-op to feed to the supplicating masses, and the requisite PHOTOS came out of the meeting... job done.

This blowhard....'director of administration' for some backwater charter 'company' opining on international aviation....tis to laugh, guess he'll be on some aviation board next along with some pastors & tuck shop owners.

Obviously you've never read his column if you suggest he capes for the FNM....
