Any organization that is dying becomes a process rather than an outcome organization as much to protect the entrenched as to document what it is doing. Our republic is no different. I see it in a social organization I am in, as membership is drifting away we have a handful of new policies and programs to attract members all requiring some “report” of how well we are doing to reach a goal.
you’ve just described death by bureaucrat…..the nauseating sclerosis of the bureaucratic state.
