    Dealing with the BPA was like waiting for ketchup to come out of a new Heinz bottle. Took forever to get basic information. Same with the EPA. Phone calls not returned, emails not responded to. Under worked. Little accountability or responsibility. Think having to deal with mello. Elon had the same with the FAA trying to get them to move on SpaceX projects.

    PS The BPA revenue is paid for by customers and utility ratepayers and ends up in your power bill. Saving ratepayers money is not important to Murray unless she, like our moron senator Ron Wyden, finds it convenient to whine about how much electricity prices have gone up and blame the greedy utilities.

    I will say that the DOT and the agency responsible for my professional certificate are pretty good. I was mailed things within seven to ten business days. I think sometimes right wingers act like every government employee is some buffoon or lazy ass who can't do anything right. There are definitely some out there, and I think some of them work for the county and city here, especially the city. I haven't personally dealt with the feds much except for the IRS two or three times, and that was a mixed bag.

    Dealing with the DMV in Washington was a f**king nightmare in the 90s and 2000s.

    I have worked with every level as a consumer, a salesman and a lobbyist.. In my opinion the fed is the worst. Second worst is the city level and then county. The best in my opinion is the state level. So much depends on where you live. Atlanta city government is a nightmare. They only hire majority black people which clearly cuts the talent pool from which to draw from. They just don't give a shit. A liberal bastion in Atlanta was the county I lived in adjacent to Fulton County. There was no law against having a pool. The liberals working in the county just felt that pools were not good things to have in an environmentally conscious county. We fought it for 7 months and got our pool. Just awful to work with. But nothing is as frustrating as working with the Fed. No one is in charge, and no one can make a decision, but everyone sure likes to act like they are the busiest people on the planet. So much wasted money in the FED and so inefficient.

    Doing California mandatory harassment training this week. This is definitely a scam. Marxist gobbledy guk featuring gender identity and other typical topics.

    So anyways, I'll be shit poasting here for a bit.

    Had to do that shit and worse including the museum of tolerance. Have I mentioned my tolerance of stupidity, poor manners, communists and morons is very low?
