DFFH always sounded like someone trying to say DHHS with a potato in their mouth, which is apt

I always thought "fairness" sounded strangely informal. Like why aren't they the department of equality or something? "Fairness" just sounds wrong to me

It's got 1984 (the book) vibes. The Ministry of Fairness.

Never read it, but I keep hearing about it. Is it a good book?

Classic dystopia novel. It's not a long read I read it in high school at your age.
