I think that people on both sides of the political spectrum thinking that the government doesn’t do anything for them is unfortunately a product of people not noticing things when they work well.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Sure you notice when the government works badly. You notice the lines at the dmv, lawmakers getting nothing done, taxes being overcomplicated, lack of protections on this and that, hurting this or that people group, not punishing companies enough n

And that’s all worth criticizing. Absolutely.

However, it also does a lot of stuff you don’t notice. Making sure companies don’t take more out of your bank account than they should, forcing your boss to pay you, maintaining the roads, building a new gym at your kid’s high school, making sure there’s no lead in your coffee, stopping random soldiers on leave from breaking down your door and stealing your Cheerios, standardizing nutrition labels, making sure your house won’t collapse during your local natural disasters, getting internet to people, putting fluoride in the water to protect your teeth.

There’s a million things every day that governments do that people just don’t seem to understand. And they can absolutely be better.

Most governments are messed up in their own special way. But claiming that they do nothing is like saying “we don’t need to hire a guy to clean kelp off the beach because the beach is always clean” when the beach is always clean and free of rotting kelp because the local government hired a guy to clean it.

Hi! I make sure your drinking water doesn't give you cancer via high radiation levels! Did you know that's a thing you'd have to worry about if my job didn't exist?

Me neither, until I got this job.

I also make sure your local nuclear power plant isn't leaking. Sure, they have their own lab for that, but I make sure their lab can't fake their results and hide a leak because I am the objective third party confirmation.

And if there's ever a radiological accident or other emergency in my area of jurisdiction, I will make sure emergency responders get the information they need to save lives.

There are thousands of people in my field and hardly anyone knows we exist because the only reason you'd notice is if something goes wrong - but if we weren't here, people could die. Please support your local, regional, and national obscure government employees today and every day.

I’m 46 & the DMV situation is vastly improved from how it used to be because the DMV figured out ways to be more efficient because that’s part of the job of running the DMV & providing service. It takes far less time & is much easier.

It’s also something that’s really easy to not notice.

(Also the parks district here literally hires people to clean the beach. There’s big machines that churn the sand & pull up cans & glass bottles & dirty diapers etc. Like a Zamboni but for keeping sand safe to walk on. My taxes pay for that, and also for fencing around a beach sand pipers nest at, to keep them safe.)
