drwex...it would be "Ensure that no moron ever has power over any aspect of my life ever again thank you."
Now _that's_ a super power worth having. Instead we have conversations like this:
Me: Can you help me with $PROBLEM?
Bureaucrat: Why didn't you $ACTION?
Me: Because I'm exempt.
Bureaucrat: Nobody is exempt!
Me: Well, I have $CONDITION1 and $CONDITION2.
Bureaucrat: Oh, in that case you're exempt.
Several seconds of silence while I stifle a number of biting and utterly unhelpful comebacks.
Me: Yes.
