Which government agencies get cursed at the most?
The Washington Post told us Thursday about Regulations.gov, a site that can tell you which federal government agencies get sworn at the most.
The online database collects the public comments people send in when the agencies propose new rules.
The Post conducted its research using two words. I won’t spell them out for you, but one starts with an “F,” and the other with an “S.”
Not surprisingly, the Internal Revenue Service gets sworn at the most. The Fish and Wildlife Service was No. 2, which doesn’t quite make sense although maybe people were using the s-word literally.
Something called the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration got the least swears tossed their way. Perhaps because no one knows they exist.
If you’re a member of your local public radio station, we thank you — because your support helps those stations keep programs like Marketplace on the air. But for Marketplace to continue to grow, we need additional investment from those who care most about what we do: superfans like you.
Your donation — as little as $5 — helps us create more content that matters to you and your community, and to reach more people where they are – whether that’s radio, podcasts or online.
When you contribute directly to Marketplace, you become a partner in that mission: someone who understands that when we all get smarter, everybody wins.
