My sarcasm detector is dialed in and functioning at incredibly precise levels.
What is lacking is your gender identification sensor. You said the IRS could get “him” but the victim of the scammers was a “mother”. Unless you read other stories that indicated the mother was a trans “him”, it would be reasonable to think you were indicating the IRS could target the scammers.
My point was that they can’t do that because the scammers are foreign nationals attacking US citizens from the safety of their foreign home base and not paying US taxes. Unfortunately, the NSA and the State Department are the only governent agencies that could do anything about it but they don’t care.
I once had a roommate who responded to jokes with serious lectures that missed the humor. You’re not “him” are you?
(Go ahead, explain objective and subjective pronouns to me ad nauseam.)
