  • Government and citizen services
    • Calling the Taliban government
      • Has anyone knocked at your door yet?

    • Quote: ‘The recent pandemic put a finer point on this century-long problem - when they were forced to shut down physical offices, the deficiencies in the system were further exposed.’
      • Are there any positive ways the pandemic can shape government services?
    • Quote: ‘Most states are leaning into being digital-first - they’re putting greater emphasis on the websites and mobile apps’
    • Previously, and in the book, you recommended reaching out to your local representative, how would that be helpful when your issue is about government services?
  • Post office
    • Started hilariously
    • Quote: “The post office seems to be trying to be good at customer service, but they’re still failing. I know they’re trying to be good because they have a massive banner in their offices that says they care about the customer experience. Yet, they proceed to make you wait for hours and deal with rude employees
      • What is caring then?
    • How are they bad
    • Why are they bad
      • Are they sour that they aren’t so necessary anymore?
      • Are they stuck between a rock and a hard place?
