we are many times at the mercy of politicians with "great" ideas and no funding or direction to back them up or implement them.
I can only imagine how frustrating that must be. In my situation I was one of the people implementing said changes and was an unwilling part of the problem. Like most people, I was just a pawn in the game and wasn't even aware that I was contributing to a great evil until after working there for quite some time.
Yeah, your situation sounds like it was much worse! The government plate could be nice though....
yeah, it had its perks. I used it once to get valet service at a nightclub that catered to the rich and famous and probably wouldn't have let me in otherwise. They didn't know that I was an accountant for the EPA and as far as they knew I was with the FBI, CIA, NSA etc. I got treated like gold but that was also the day I found out that a round of drinks in this place cost like $100 and this was over 15 years ago. I can't even imagine what it would cost now.
Haha, sounds about like bottle service in Vegas. Talk about some crazy prices!
