Have you seen the news lately?

Have you seen the news lately?

News? I never watch it. It's so terribly depressing.

Why?

Uh, I wanted to ask you something.

Can I borrow your stapler?

I never lend out my stapler.

When it's gone, it takes forever to get a new one approved.

Oh, I have no opinion about the Great Leader's reforms.

I don't mean to be presumptuous.

What do you think about change?

I'm always cautious about change.

What if a change is not good?

But the current changes come from the Great Leader.

And you would find that bad because it would be a change?

I understand, thank you!

Maybe you could lend me a stapler? I can't find one.

How do you feel about the current changes and developments in the country?
