Laugh! Sadly shaking my head.
I get a lot of flak from folks about my continued assertions that the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient!
Here’s a classic example.
I wonder who’s responsible for the damages?
Guess it’s the taxpayer.
Wonder how whoever owned this mine, and those who profited from it, were allowed to escape liability?
Argh!
