Ordered a curling iron from Amazon for a Christmas gift. Wrong size. Contacted seller for RMA. Got one. Original cost $29, plus $11 to ship it back. 20 days later, the seller credited $16, after a $13 restocking fee, since they shipped what was ordered. Net = out $24, no curling iron. But, it's safely back in the wild for resale. Next time I think I will just donate something like that to charity.

Welcome
This commentary seeks to identify and promote simple perspectives on difficult issues. The hope is that small contributions of insight, and perhaps a little twisted logic, might help slowly, but progressively, make the world a better place.
Sure, that's a lofty goal. But, honestly, why not? Can't really hurt anything, and even a little help along the way is better than just doing nothin'.
Enjoy.

About Simpernetic Research
Simpernetic comes from a combination of simple and cybernetics. Cybernetics is the study of cyclical systems of cause and effect, where actions toward a goal produce a response, which leads to further action, continuing toward the attainment of the eventual goal.
Simple is just simple. So Simpernetic Research searches for systematic simplicity, sometimes light heartedly and sarcastically, to help reveal importance, value, and perspective.
The current movement in America toward nationalization and socialism, which have both been proven multiple times to be precursors to catastrophic failure of governmental and societal systems, is a substantial concern. Comments associated with this movement sadly lose their light heartedness, and sarcasm degrades to pure criticism. Sorry.
Other than that, hopefully this is just a fun place to discharge some otherwise pent up creative energy.
