The BBC website often has little brain teasers. Actually I think they're aimed at children but hey, my brain needs teasing too. Anyway I saw this one today. Find the missing number. (They gave you a minute to do it in I think.)
I couldn't do it in the time and didn't want to see the answer so closed it before it came up. I had a longer think and worked it out but now I can't find the puzzle again to check if I'm right. Well, I am. At least it's one answer. There may be more.
In other puzzles, after probably twenty years of volunteering at the prison I'm being properly vetted. Trouble is they're asking me for details of all my employment/volunteering in the last five years. Then they give me spaces to fill in details of five previous employers.
I don't have that many employers in my life let alone the last five years. But the fields are mandatory!
I'm trying to get in touch with them but "Our lines are very busy at the moment but we will call you back in twenty minutes." That was an hour ago.

As a writer you're entitled to fill in "self" in those spaces.
In Joe: yes, he's old, and he has massive political knowledge and acumen enough to get major legislation passed in an almost impossible environment. He's the best choice now in terms of judgement and timing, and if he doesn't make it to the end of a second term, I'm all in for Kamala. She's been developing seriously good international recognition, and knows her way around the presidency.
On the nhs, speaking as someone who remembered when it was founded, and who never minded the tax bill, when everyone could get care without worrying about cost, I mourn for it.
The only rule I could find is that the sum of the four numbers in a square is 28. Bureaucracy is wonderful. All hail the glorious bureaucracy.
Could n/a be the answer to your (lack of) employers?
