Frustrated by President Trump’s incompetent cabinet appointments, I tried calling his number on a Thursday morning at ten. I assumed I could leave a message and my opinion would be noted by someone.
I dialed the number listed for the president on the Internet. I was next instructed to enter the number ‘4’ for a directory. Each time I tried I heard that the number ‘4’ was not a valid entry.
Next I noticed directions stating that if number ‘4’ didn’t work, I should enter another number for an operator. I did this and was told there were no operators available. Do I no longer live in a democracy where my president cares about my opinions?
If so, I guess we do live in a plutocracy now. Rich people who care nothing about us now rule We the People. When will more Americans get smart and demand change?
