I received a reminder today of how evil the government is. What a knot of snakes state plutocracy is.
I came home yesterday to find on of my vehicle being damaged. Boston transportation department conveniently left a note (Official "trouble report") on my windshield containing no name, no badge number and not even serial number of this report.
But they provided me with a wrong phone number of government dept. that does not handle these issues.
I will not bore you with descriptions of my 40+ minute phone investigation, including rude operators, wrong numbers given, phone numbers that do not work or always busy.
After 40+ minutes of this I was given a phone number of completely different office.
. ...
The result is: I have to come in person to file a claim and DRUM ROLL! Pay to City odf Boston 5 dollars to investigate my claim!
It's not the sum of money, but the audacity.
One would have to get a vaccination from poor-dumb-****-syndrome prior to talking to these government employees.

If these people were working in the private sector, they would've been fired a long time ago. They don't call these jobs lifetime jobs for nothing. Nobody ever gets fired. Nobody!

Someone gets paid to sit around and think this **** up!
They came one time to take my driver's liscence, saying i had no insurance, when i actually had coverage from TWO since I was in the process of changing...and as I write this, some asshole without insurance is hitting somebody.

A friend at school got her registration held up over a parking ticket she never got. That's not so bad, but while disputing it she had to fill out a form. The form could have been devised by Rube Goldberg himself, and included a part asking her to prove that she never got the ticket she got.
