I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

That's pretty good! Our electricity is going to be hell with this summer. The water and gas are usually low though.

If Sue is around (or other Canadians), do Canadians use government/administration the way we do here in the U.S., or does "government" refer to the present administration, as in Europe?

I think I'm getting off easy: my last water bill was $110. For 3 months. Of course, my taxes are fairly high and the city is still broke.

Yeah, exactly. And we don't pay extra for trash or recycling.

BOISE, Idaho – Police in Idaho think they might have solved a yearlong condiment crime spree. Authorities said a 74-year-old Boise woman arrested after pouring mayonnaise in the Ada County library's book drop box is a person of interest in at least 10 other condiment-related crimes.

If Sue is around (or other Canadians), do Canadians use government/administration the way we do here in the U.S., or does "government" refer to the present administration, as in Europe?

The latter. Mostly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I totally don't understand this question. What does it mean in the US?

Government is the institutions, Obama's people are his administration, not his government.

Right, so you would talk about the Martin government or the Trudeau government, but never the Mulroney administration.
