This story is not about a government department doing what it is charged with doing. This story is not about privitization of collections. This story is not about the well known DC corruption issue.

No one to make sure is ok. No one to ask if has been forgetting things lately. No neighbors that might have checked in on him. No family that was attentive enough to realise he may need help with the 10 giant boxes of mail by the door. No one that gave enough of a shit to just ask how he was doing. When was the last time you checked in on that elderly lady that lives next door to make sure she is doing ok? When is the last time you did a little checking up on your elderly family? When was the last time you took the time to make sure the people around you are not getting to the point where they need help? As a side note, please read the entire article.
