Besides seas rising, floods and fires left and right, COVID viruses mutating, the IRS is also falling apart.

I'll add its outdated computer system, Congress handing the IRS extra tasks including multiple stimulus payments, adjusting returns for unemployment compensation, and the advance child tax credit. then Congress not budgeting enough funds to IRS. the IRS, like many businesses, inability to hire enough employees.
