Ding ding ding! We have a winner in the Toxic Governance Sweepstakes that is modern America.
Georgia man Connor Cato received a whopping $1.4 million speeding ticket near Savannah.
Assuming it was a mistake, he contacted local authorities only to be informed that it was indeed legitimate — with a bureaucrat allegedly threatening, “You either pay the amount on the ticket or you come to court.”
Cato later discovered, after likely suffering a near-heart attack, that it was simply a design quirk in the court system’s software.
It’s still enough to have him (or anyone else!) shouting, Georgia delenda est.
And can you imagine a better metaphor for the absolute state of the social contract we make with our elected officials and their administrative henchmen?
Hand over your last nickel or face the consequences… Oh, no, wait, oopsie! That’s wrong — but it was someone else’s fault.
