This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This is half the reason social services suck so much.
The other half is funding. But even with all the funding in the world, if the staff is a bunch of lazy asses, the service will suck.
The vast majority of social services are handled by state employees, not federal. Those state employees are often underpaid and overworked, and often only stay in their position because they understand the need too.
The problem with federal employees is that they're often underpaid compared to similar jobs in the private sector. Most of them only choose to remain federal employees because it offers a lot better work life balance compared to the private sector.
