   - News has it that it was "discovered" that a large number of Iran's   
   industries that directly deal with the first phase of a number of   
   processes involving gas, oil, agriculture, etc, are working much more   
   slowly than they were a few years ago :)   
      
   This far, it already says enough about how two-bit managers are working   
   in Iran.   
      
   Then a task force was created to investigate it. It turned out that   
   these industries have trouble receiving nuts! Yes, bolts and nuts that   
   they order from foreign countries...   
      
   So the team did some more of looking and found out that all major   
   industries in Iran that used to make these nuts and bolts of various   
   sizes are down! ... Hahhahhahahh :) Talking about Mullah's placing their   
   sons at those positions.   
      
   So they investigated farther and the reason was that a few key parts in   
   all of these machines are defective, and the European companies who used   
   to supply them to Iran have stopped doing that.   
      
   So the machines stopped. Nuts and bolts stopped being manufactured. And   
   the effect of it fucked up major industries that need these nuts and bolts.   
      
   And guess what. Nobody was even talking about this :)   
      
   That's what happens when you involve clerics into areas of activity that   
   should not be their business.   
      
   This matter was reported to government and they sent their scientists   
   and engineers to check those machines out. They literally disassembled   
   these huge machines and studied every part of it; how they work, why   
   certain parts don't work, and found that the design of some of them   
   themselves were idiotic and would rapidly lead to some of their parts   
   getting ruined.   
      
   So instead of reproducing these parts now that EU would not sell them,   
   they decided to redesign these machines!   
      
   They did that, finished the job, created new machines with none of the   
   problems that the European ones had. They began churning out any nuts   
   and bolts ever needed, and this covered the 120 thousand tons of nuts   
   and bolts that Iran's industries needed yearly. So all those industries   
   began working as fast as before instead of waiting for nuts and bolts to   
   arrive from various parts of the world.   
      
   What hit me when I read that is that nobody even was complaining about   
   this. It had to be indirectly "discovered" :-( Imagine how many other   
   defects in the fabric of industry in Iran is there sitting to be   
   "discovered." Cause sure as hell nobody talks about it.   
      
   I think their owners aren't even in Iran. They're in California perhaps,   
   giving ass in San Francisco, and care little about what they own in   
   Iran. This can explain the comedy better than any other reason one could   
   think of.   
      
   These owners may have been Jews or Baha'is, anybody who doesn't give a   
   hoot about any industry in Iran, be it their own industries.   
      
   I hope by seeing the way this simple matter was discovered, the   
   authorities will get better at finding the rest of funny situations like   
   this and take care of them as well.
