Are you honestly surprised? With all the years arguing with Foo and everyone else about politics over here, I'd figure you'd know this shit by now. Everything's a shitshow. Always has been, always will be.

Hahahahaha! No.
Basically this.

But supposedly we can. I'm sure there's enough of a spaghetti mess to make it difficult to apply that will continue to hurt the general public. The small business owners have to fill it out, so it's up in the air right now for us if the owner can get it through or not.

Just used up the last of my vacation time I saved up to help out today.

Yeah, we're pretty screwed.
