Cause of Death (2)

South Jerusalem: Gershom Gorenberg and Haim Watzman: Cause of Death (2):

"Think back to those good old days, when the country was making makework for everyone. Remember getting shunted from one bureaucrat to another in grossly overstaffed government offices where everyone always seemed to be on break? Remember standing in line endlessly at the bank only to finally reach a surly teller? Remember sales clerks who thought they were doing you a favor by deigning to speak to you? Remember having to take an entire day off of work to see a doctor, because there was only “sick call” and no way of making appointments?"

There is a popular shortcut to blame the above on communism. This is oversimplification, the roots of this in the Jewish context were always in the Kloiz.
