> - The longest application time went to the United States Postal Service (10 minutes and 12 seconds).

My spouse is not in tech but in comms. The quickest I know she's done an application has been O(hours) primarily due to writing cover letters, personalizing resume and often sending in clips.

Having seen that, I find it amusing that we techies (yes me too) get annoyed when we have to provide our Linkedin AND all the information on that page.

> The fact they take any money at all from the gov makes them sate-affilated.

Let's leave out the Elno companies that take gov money hand over fist, why is this label not applied to every company that gets tax benefits, took out govt loans?

> I had some Euros left over from a trip last summer. I put them in an envelope, put my super secret generated code on a piece of paper, and dropped it in the mailbox.
