  19. The best defense against propaganda is and transparency. If the population is trained and accepts being lead to conclusions with obvious propaganda it doesn't matter if you shut off one path for others will emerge.

    What you need to do is create an expectation of reasoned debate. Sadly the USA has done a very poor job of this. We have allowed politicians get away with obviously false claims...

  24. "The data suggested that these small front-line problems collectively frustrate both the customer and the worker, and hinder the worker’s ability to perform effectively, but when taken out of context and viewed individually, appear trivial.
