As an editor, I often felt I was making buggies. Alas, if you read the
printed word, you'll find that editors are still needed even if no one
wants to pay for them.
Much as I despise my bureaucratic sinecure, I'm not giving it up until
I figure out just how badly the winds are blowing. Unlike telegraph
operators, bureaucrats are always employed.
Not that I underestimate Governor B's ability to cause total meltdown.
