That may be true to an extent, but in the private sector, sometimes those meetings are important. There are a lot of decisions made during some of these. Implementation of the ideas is what is supposed to follow. It would be nice if the same held true for our government overlords.
Actually, they probably have a lot of meetings on how to screw us over better every day. For those, the meetings work perfectly. Those ideas are implemented across the system without fail.
It was a joke.
