A Story About a Sick State, Demented Bureaucracy, Waste of Money and Time 0 17

When it seems that there is nowhere left to go, it turns out that there is... and it seems that the price of today’s state apparatus is complete foolishness and childishness.

The story began a few years ago when my father passed away. My birds (chickens) were registered on my father's property. On the property, in the house where I actually live and where I am registered.

When my father left, from the perspective of the state and the law, these were no longer my birds, but my father's inheritance. Before receiving the inheritance, I needed to be appointed the guardian of my birds. After all, who knows, maybe I secretly plan to take them to Panama and launder money through them or exchange them for gold.

Moreover, the high Sirotsky court came to check how the birds were living, whether they had comfortable conditions — did the birds have a sandbox? Did the birds have fresh water? Were the birds emotionally traumatized and were they provided with the latest relaxation methods?

And then I officially received a government document, in black and white, confirming that I possess the "competence to keep birds." Honestly, I nearly choked when I read this.

After receiving the inheritance (my birds), I paid no more attention to this, needless to say why. But for quite a long time, the guardianship service has been demanding that my sister and I submit a statement that we do not object to me inheriting my birds. It also needs to specify what was done with them — fed, watered, ensured they were healthy, let them out for walks, provided sand baths, offered emotional support if any hen was in a bad mood, etc.

In the statement, it was possible to indicate that this could be considered at the meeting without my presence, which I did. Therefore, I was genuinely surprised to receive an invitation to the orphan court meeting on January 26, 2026.

And now the question: when the country is in complete chaos, with violence against children, the conditions for their well-being as dramatic as ours, when the social service is barely breathing because it cannot cope with the volume of cases, when crisis centers are overcrowded — is chasing after birds really what the guardianship service should be doing in the country?

It feels like we live in a wonderland for idiots. But the worst part of all this is that an ordinary person is powerless against this idiocy or "state institutions."

P.S. May God help this gang of idiots who write laws and govern the country!
