“”I wonder what makes the leading RATs think that their freeloaders DESERVE a second chance. What did they ever do to DESERVE a second chance?””
What had them so preoccupied they couldn’t meet the first deadline? Tough. Deadlines are deadlines! I’ve met filing deadlines through my own working years (and personal life) and learned what it meant to my employer (and probably myself) if they weren’t met. Time to make them grow up and become responsible without any special handling..
I understand what you’re saying, but it presumes compliance. Many of us have no intention of complying. We pay the fine and do whatever we can to end this monstrosity. But accepting it as reality is to lie down and accept defeat.
