Commentary
From the news releases I receive, particularly from the PMO, I gather that the government has both the will and the capacity to bring enormous benefits to me, my fellow citizens, and indeed the inhabitants of the entire globe. Alas, from the news stories I receive, particularly about the PMO, a rather different picture emerges. Like they can’t even build a house, which shouldn’t be especially challenging after literally hundreds of thousands of years of humans adding shelter to clothing and food.
