One of the most corrosive aspects of modern American culture is that decent, competent people are obliged to defer to an army of lazy, ignorant, rude, unaccountable, un-fireable (and often non-English speaking) GED gatekeepers as you try to carry out your daily duties.

And some of these martinets make more money than you do.
