FFS there’s no fax machine on the other end. There no paper or ink. It’s all electronic.

Oh boy.

I’m dealing with IRS right now to get an EIN for an LLC. They won’t give an EIN over online form. Must be faxed or physically mailed.

They say 3-5 days. Been weeks. I pay $5/week to hold onto a fax number.

So Trump spending hundreds of billions on blowing up kids’ schools in Iran and cutting funding from IRS.

Why does it take weeks to start a business in 2026 and get a bank account.

Just absurd.

Hmm the online EIN form will give you an EIN instantly unless you don't have an ITIN or you are incorporated outside the US, in which case you would have to do it offline. https://sa.www4.irs.gov/applyein/

I remember using it and worrying about losing the EIN at the last step, so I saved the document several times and printed it several times too.

This reads like LLM slop. gptzero says 98%.

It also appears to be a confession of intentional vandalism of government property, despite the author admitting that they already knew how to send a fax via website, which is as convenient as email.

And, believe it or not, yes, some people do in fact receive treatment that cures a disability.

So basically the blogger is wasting resources to spite some givernment drone.bad foe other taxpayers (who need to pay for this fax paper) and bad for environment.

Probably bad for other disabled too - their faxes wont reach in time.

There is some disability fraud, they have to check.

Maybe stop voting for right wing, so someone changes the system though.

AI slop fantasy of a blind jerk getting "revenge" by sending a 512 page fax to a disabilities office, and the government employee calls to BEG for them to stop the "whir-chunk" from the fax machine.

A protagonist in a pathetic revenge fantasy so insufferably smug that they actually reward themselves with a cookie at the end. Gag me.
