Government agents are guilty of the actions of the government by association. I
wish we had shutdowns like those in Spain and we got to see tax collectors and
job inspectors be left unpaid for months. Those people cause so much grief, pain
and suffering and they are proud of it. If they ended up living under a bridge
after months of no pay I would count that as a social win. They show no mercy
towards citizens, therefore none they deserve.

I mean, next week I have a meeting scheduled with the boss due to some
legislatures of tax changes regarding IT infrastructure. I am running the
numbers and the rational thing for the clinic to do is going to be to terminate
a lot of in-house IT, and revert back to paper, which means a full time system
administrator will be much less necessary. Then you watch an interview with the
public "servant" promoting these changes and selling them as a positive. If that
guy was shot tomorrow I would jerk off on the newspaper that carried the news.

I agree the pay suspension should be extended to Congresses and Parlaments and
whatever have you. Ideally, you would suspend most of those people. From the
ceiling. By their necks.
