The only thing I'll add to this is that it gets even more fun when you have a disability that makes it harder to deal with the system. I live in terror of the next time this shit happens to me because (among other issues) I'm afraid of strangers and telephones.https://twitter.com/Nicole_Lee_Sch/status/1486427982407348224 …

Yes, it's pathetic, I get it, thanks. But it is what it is. You haven't had to be around me after I talk to someone in an unfamiliar situation for ten minutes. I'm useless for the rest of the day.

Parenthetically, it's interesting that the complexity, difficulty and cruelty of the System is getting to the point where extremely high-functioning people are starting to find it too hard to navigate. Yeah, now think about LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE, Mr/Ms/Dr Harvard.

Replying to @St_Rev
was talking to friends about how insane / dystopian interfacing w the medical system is for me and my wife (very high IQ, conscientiousness) on behalf of my FIL. We find this hard...how the heck is Shaniqua with a 90 IQ and a $14/hr job supposed to keep her car registered ?

Helping my son navigate the system, especially when he is not a typical child has been very “interesting”. And I have seen with my own eyes the kids whose parents didn’t have the wherewithal to do so.

also, the systems are less responsible the lower the status / capabilities of the clientele. Calling the IRS to try to pay $15k of $30k due works well. Finding where a car was towed works OK. Foster kid stuff is bad. I'm sure that getting bailed out of jail is horrible.
