So ...

Last edited Wed Oct 2, 2013, 08:57 PM - Edit history (1)

I'm on my way home, yesterday, and stopped at the grocery store. The gop-voting P/T Customer service libertarian F/T Postal worker guy, that I from time to time talk politics with says, "See ... ObamaCare's roll-out is a bust ... millions of people couldn't access the website to sign up. My wife tried all morning!"

Me: "Doesn't that show that millions of people really do want health insurance?"

gop P/T Customer service libertarian F/T Postal worker guy: "You're missing my point ... the government couldn't handle the traffic!"

Me: "Have you ever lost your DirectTV during monsoon? Ever tried to reach the company?"

gop P/T Customer service libertarian F/TPostal worker guy: "Yeah ... it's crazy. You can never get through!"

Me: "Yeah and that's just a couple thousand people calling in and their offices weren't shut down by people that want cable!"

gop P/T Customer service libertarian F/T Postal worker guy: "Next!"

Will they never learn?

He is doing the best he can but all the people who would normally be monitoring the servers are not able to do that
