People who create these policies are never on the ground seeing how they effect people. This was apparent in the Army where people giving orders and sending the grunts on missions were never doing it themselves. The disconnect is dangerous. I sometimes work at social security offices wjere the buildings are open by appointment only and they have limited employees in the building due to covid policies, which means not enough people to answer phones. So, no one can get through on the phones. Immigrants come here and get suspended from their jobs because they need to get a social security number or whatever sort of documents they need, but they can't get it because they need an appointment, but they can't make an appointment because they can't get through on the phones. So, they lose their jobs and source of income. The offices are closed to protect the public, especially the older population, and I understand that. But they don't see how this closure is effecting people because the ones creating these rules are not on the ground to see how it plays out.,(reply>), so they're effectively no longer public offices really. I hope so badly that the chickens will come home to roost for the people who made subjects out of citizens and gutted our public life under a relentless campaign of fearmongering, misdirection, and gaslighting. they have lost all and any authority they once had in my eyes and will never get it back.,(reply>), That's the problem with so many government policies. It's often made by people living in hyper privileged areas where they don't know the common people. To them, working on their laptops, they can say shut down businesses for months because there's 10 cases in the city because it doesn't affect them. Their lives are going by normally.<br><br>They often are going through extreme group think, they don't want to go against what everyone else is saying because, like other workers, they want a promotion, they want to fit in, they'll do whatever their group is doing to look good.
