We no longer

Lately, I've been very fortunate to deal with a lot of government agencies. I just became a citizen, as you know. I also have to change my social security status and Reed has had the great pleasure of dealing with DES. With those three agencies, we have been able to realize how nice it would be to work for the government (not as a teacher, that's different, they actually get the job done). This is true of our American government, my Belgian government or the German one...all those countries, and many others, seem to have the same mentality. If you can't do a job, for some unexplained reason, just no longer do it!
The one thing that is so great now a days, is that anytime you need something, you can check online first. It tells you where to go, and so you do. Once you get to where you think you need to be, you encounter a sign (it could be a printed paper, or hand written, in pencil if the urgency was quite sudden) that will read "we no longer...dot dot dot- fill in the service you need...at this location. " We no longer make changes to this, or accept applications to that or review this at this location. Please drag your sorry butt to downtown Phoenix and go stand in line there. Thank you." Phoenix is huge, over 3.something million people. That's why they have satelite branches, to help people, so I thought anyway. "we no longer care if you drive all around our beautiful hot valley". I truly think that it's also a sneaky way to make you spend more on gas, since they make you drive all around our valley to get the service you need. Surely there is a government kick back for that!
Take unemployment for example. No one answers the phone any more...we no longer answer the phones. Why? Because the demand is so great (yes, we all know, blablabla, recession, hard times), we "no longer" have enough employees...hey, there's an idea there!!!! Since your job is to help the unemployed, why don't you hire a few more people to answer the phones...I must be a genius!
I hope to soon be done with the changes I have to make and to no longer have to deal the with no longers!

PS: doesn't it suck that MJ died, I know, he was no hero or anything, but dang, he could sing and dance!!!! Now, he can no longer do that!
