Keeping meetings short

They always say that we should keep meetings straight-forward and short. But everyone knows that this is rarely the case. Meetings tend to be long-winded, boring affairs deliberating over peanuts and arguing over ego-nonsense. Not to mention if you have an asshole or two sitting in! But that's a fact of life and we have to somehow learn to manage it.

However, there is one way to keep meetings short! An experiment was conducted where decisions were compared between a group meeting without chairs (and thus have to stand) and another group meeting the conventional way which is to sit down. It was found that stand-up meetings took 34% less time to make the assigned decision. The good thing was the quality of the decisions was just as good as those made by the sit-down group. So such meetings can not only save time it also saves some money on chairs!

Maybe we can do the same in the parliament since our MPs are wasting lots of time and our taxpayer's money debating crap and producing crap. Garbage in, garbage out - hallmark of our political system. Get rid of all the chairs and let our MPs stand. Maybe then we can squeeze some sense out of their mouths.
