THIS IS SO BIZARRE, EXPECT IT IS TRUE

By Bob Walsh




I listen a lot in the morning to KCRA.  It is a news-talk AM radio station out of Sacramento.  This morning I caught a piece about federal retirement procedure.

It seems that all federal retirement is processed as hard-copy.  I don't know if this is a legal requirement, an administrative requirement or just the way they do it.  This hard copy paperwork is stored long-term in a limestone cavern at the bottom of a mine shaft.  This arrangement is left over from the cold war.  

Therefore the number of federal retirements that can be fully processed in any given period of time is limited by the speed of a 75-year old elevator in a mine shaft.

Yep. It's true. It was announced by Elon Musk.
