That's not fair! This government excels at printing money then setting it on fire. All governments are capable of murder on a scale unsurpassed in history and do it with alacrity. All governments can out-thug the best organized crime syndicates. And when it comes to doing nothing, have you looked at any entrenched bureaucracy? People there can sit on their hands for eternity.
This is unfair to rats! I had a rat living in my house for six weeks, and it did plenty of work: drilling holes in walls and cabinets, plugging up traps with insulation that it pulled from the walls, dragging potatoes across the kitchen counters, eating my aloe plants, etc. Eventually it left, probably because it ran out of jobs in my house and needed to find a better work environment.
