I put some of my software in a Landfill in Fresno, CA back in the 1980's. The guy that owned it also owned a Garbage hauling company. Got to remember this was in the early 2 mid 1980's. The system used two (2) printers, so I gave him one (1) box of computer paper ( at this time it cost like 4 or 5 times it does now ). Also this Landfill owner knew nothing about computers, NOT very many people did at that time. He ask me, is this paper worth anything? I told him sure it is and gave him the price I had paid, I forget the cost at that time. Well the IRS has one (1) of there main offices in Fresno, CA. He told me he hauled something like 20 truck loads of it to his dump every year. Now these were BIG Garbage trucks. They just threw it away so they wouldn't loose the money next year, new un-opened box's. I should have ask him what else they threw away NEW stuff.
This is just one VERY small example MarkTiarra posted about.
I could give you some more, but I feel it would be just a big waste of my time and would over TAX my grey matter.
Oh and yes government contracts, my fucking God I've bidded on 'em and got a few. Most Just 2 fucking funny.
