Have ever wondered what goes on inside the Department of Labor? Here's just one story: a former coal miner led the development of industry-wide standards and practices to prevent roof falls in underground mines, leading to the first year (2016) of no roof fall fatalities in the United States.
At the Internal Revenue Service — aka the IRS — is a department that led the rescue of 23 children from rape and assault, along with the seizure of a quarter-million child abuse videos and the arrest of 370 alleged pedophiles.
These stories are just the tip of the iceberg of all the unrecognized work being done in the American federal government, highlighted by Michael Lewis and six other writers in “Who Is Government?: The Untold Story of Public Service,” available now everywhere.

@VerizonSupport That is a lie. I spent two hours on the phone with Verizon "Support" this morning before being summarily dismissed with a promise someone who could actually help me would call me at 3 PM. Can you guess what happened (or rather, didn't)?
@VerizonSupport Why do you make it so hard to do literally anything? I just ordered a new $1000 phone and you got the shipping address wrong and I can't find any way to change it.
