You see it in America too, you just hear about the bad ones.

It's nothing like HOC. This dude has no clue what he's talking about. I know, I have staffed many campaigns and staffed a congressman in DC.

I work in networking. My favorite story of expensive travel came when a hospital in Florida lost both routers in a massive power surge in their telco room. Cisco TAC would have had new routers to them in four hours as that was the level of SLA we had for this particular client. The thing was, they had outsourced their IT to my MSP, so the routers were going to need to have our configs dumped onto them. It would have been pretty easy to email the configs over to them but as I said, in this medical company's infinite wisdom they had outsourced the vast majority of their IT to us. The sole network engineer for this site was out of the country. So what did the company decide to do? Fly their company's Gulfstream from Kansas City to Phoenix to pick up replacement routers that had been pre-configured which would then be flown to Florida to be replaced.

Man, maintaining a beard is easier than shaving every day. Source, have had beard for about five years.

Concealment not cover. There's a big difference.
