The government is an imitation of the movie Brazil.

Just like my wife, who - while preparing supper - says that I don't help enough.

And all the while, I stand there calmly, giving her helpful hints, like "Chop the carrots finer," "You shouldn't sauté the onions so long," and "Why don't you pre-warm the plates?"

And all I get are hostile looks!

Doesn't she understand that I'm a highly-paid consultant? That my good advice is worth its weight in gold?

Regards,

I have a better solution. Get a snowblower. I can drink coffee and smoke like a jenny before going out and it doesn’t bother me. :)

Three people died shoveling snow the other day in the DC/Maryland area so this guy is not doing his job properly.

On the one hand, Mr. Manager tells me I have to get clearance from a physician, and “Shouldn’t be so quick to go outside”, on the other my local public works division put an orange envelope in my mailbox telling me that I didn’t shovel my frontage sidewalk from “side to side” and didn’t use salt or sand within 24 hours, and next time I’ll be find $25 to $200.

I can’t wait for the spring, summer and fall videos on how to fertilize your lawn, mow the grass, and rake leaves. With maybe a bonus feature on how to cook hot dogs. lol

Big government, based on the idea that with enough micromanagement the world can be perfect.

It's dificult to understand how people survived, prospered and reproduced
without politicians and bureaucrats to tell them what to do and how to do it.

“To be GOVERNED is to be kept in sight, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right, nor the wisdom, nor the virtue to do so.

To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction, noted, registered, enrolled, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished.

It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, trained, ransomed, exploited, monopolized, extorted, squeezed, mystified, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, despised, harassed, tracked, abused, clubbed, disarmed, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and, to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, outraged, dishonored.

That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.”

P.J. Proudhon, General Idea of the Revolution in the Nineteenth Century, trans. John Beverley Robinson. London: Freedom Press, 1923, p. 294

“Dress in layers and wear warm clothing, especially because wind chills will be dropping below zero.”

God I wish I had known this one before. I shoveled last week in a Hawaiian shirt and nearly froze to death.

I wonder if he has another PSA on using snow in the absense of toilet paper.

Step One: hire some kid to do it. Nearly fainted last winter when some kid and his buddy knocked on my door, offering to shovel snow from the driveway and front walk for $10. Hadn’t encountered that in decades. May be hope for this country after all.
