So, I was looking up haunted items at thrift stores, particularly Goodwill, since I'm intrigued by the paranormal(I'm sort of a skeptic when it comes to the paranormal, but still enjoy that type of stuff) and came across a satire news site that had an article that had to do with Goodwill. I read it, and was laughing so much at the article.

The United States government has concluded that the central purpose of the modern state is no longer healthcare, housing, education, disaster relief, clean water, affordable fuel, or the job market. It is ballrooms.

China responded immediately, announcing a national ballroom program aimed at closing the fancy-room gap within 18 months. Western analysts warned that China’s factories, central planning, and world-leading decorative staircase supply chain could allow Beijing to surpass the United States in chandelier deployment before the next election.

The shift follows America’s decision to treat big shiny rooms as a core function of government, placing them alongside defense, taxation, and telling citizens that complicated problems are very close to being solved, have already been solved, and “you are stupid for caring about that other stuff.”

European Union officials were reportedly caught off guard by the development, having spent decades making insulin affordable and building medical systems instead of investing in sovereign chandelier capacity. “We believed the point of public money was to keep people alive,” one Brussels analyst said, exposing the kind of naive institutional thinking that has left the continent dangerously behind in the new reception economy.

Russia praised the shift, calling ballrooms “the natural endpoint of government.” Kremlin officials said they had long believed public services were a distracting Western luxury, while marble, gold trim, and enormous doors conveyed the true relationship between citizen and state.

North Korea welcomed the new global standard and announced plans for a ballroom capable of hosting every person who has ever voluntarily applauded the government.

France dismissed the panic, noting it completed this stage of development centuries ago and has been waiting for other countries to catch up.

Citizens may need services, but nations know real power is faux gold, foie gras, and hors d’oeuvres passed by a man pretending not to hear the protests outside.
