How can they make the same mistake twice? Especially a member of the House?
“How can they make the same mistake twice? Especially a member of the House?”
Let’s take a 911 call as an example. The operator asks, “What is your emergency?” If you say, “Robbery in progress” they’ll transfer the call to the local dispatcher. If you say, “Fire,” they’ll transfer the call to the fire department. If you say, “I’m depressed,” it goes to the suicide hotline. Also, if you ask the operator his name he’ll respond with “I’m operator fifty-one,” or whatever his assigned number is. There are at least three shifts per day and depending on the locale there might be over a hundred employees. There’s lots of maneuver room for bad actors.
