Have you ever noticed super market lettuce smelling perfumy? I don't mean at a high end store, but just the ordinary supermarket. Ugh don't think I'm going to eat this lettuce. Luckily I have some heads from elsewhere that smell normal for my lunch tomorrow (they look less pretty but smell like lettuce at least). And now I become some paranoid sniffing lettuce all the time.
I could rant about the problems of getting a human at the IRS (even when you go there in person!), but that's too much like a real rant and too close to the real difficulties of living in this insane asylum (I mean being that we more or less have to pay taxes, it should be possible to talk to the IRS about them - a half decent country would and probably IS run that way. But I don't live there unfortunately. Ha even a less decent country you could at least maybe bribe someone to talk to a human!). Among existing problems with taxes, my company almost certainly misreported my income last year as now social security has that I'm earning, hmm a really pretty sum that I'm most certainly not earning (yes of course it's what they should pay me but they don't), and the social security administration gets the data from the IRS. Going to try another IRS location next time. Then the IRS drones complain they have no money as way of explanation for the horrible service, yes well your problem is with congress then, and as a non-rich non-corporate person I must pay my pound of flesh to you guys, but have close to zero say in what congress actually does. Taxation yea, but representation not so much so. Maybe they should get a checkbox on the taxes to fund them like the presidential campaigns do ...
The lettuce, I think it probably wants to go into the trash can.
