Better hiring more people than wasting money on BS like this.

They would rather have increase of internet and iphone apps than to hire people at a lower grade, just to pick up the phones that go unanswered.

How many clerks (CDC) could be hired while they try to find this contractor? And we all know that there will be bugs with the system that they will waste even more money trying to fix!
