Don’t moan at me about how Government spends your tax money. I don’t think they should even have it in the first place.
Real Life Scenario
Taxes are an inexorable force of nature
I spent my work day at a training course where we discussed that there are some issues we can influence and others we can’t. This was in relation to empathising with our customers but was abstracted to the weather and taxes as things that will never change. These examples went universally unquestioned.
For a brief moment I did consider contesting this but quickly realised this would be at great cost (effort) with very little pay off.
