While I’m not in any immediate financial risk, I do have this growing sense of running afoul of the system in other ways since the whole state apparatus is kinda crumbling, from the USPS on up.
There’s a shit ton of broken plumbing around all sorts of routine bureaucratic operations. At least my passport’s good for a couple more years. But various registrations and thinks, it’s delays and lost paperwork all over the place. Stuff that costs money to fix.
