You Have Reached the U.S. Government
Briefly

This satirical piece illustrates a government phone menu where absurdity reigns following mass dismissals, with only one worker—Bob—remaining. It reflects on the dismantling and reorganization of various departments, like Education now falling under ATF, the bizarre handling of vaccine inquiries converted to 'Trump Bibles,' and the illogical requirements for federal employees. The menu options mockingly reference political agendas, donations, and even make light of serious issues like vaccination and gender identity, showcasing the chaotic state of affairs in a humorous fashion.
If you are trying to reach the Department of Education, press 167, assuming you know numbers that high. Never mind. The Department of Education is now a subdivision of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
If you are a federal employee in Washington, D.C., working remotely from your home on Mars, and would like an exemption from our return-to-office requirement, press 437.
