”The government should have had the best and brightest working on this website three years ago, but as it turns out, bureaucracy is needlessly complicated.”
FTFY.
Bureaucracy is ALWAYS complicated. That’s it’s nature. It’s like saying water is wet.
I agree.
My point was that bureaucrats will introduce into the system things of questionable value to detrimental effect. An example: when I was in Iraq we packed up the ACOGs (optical sights) into their little boxes, confirming the serial-numbers, into big trunks which were then sealed. We had all of them accounted for and packed in these sealed trunks and all of these trunks were accounted for… but then the Lieutenant said that we did it wrong, that a mere check was insufficient and that we needed to record which ACOGs were in which trunk. So we had to break the seals, unpack the trunk, and record which were in which trunk for all of the trunks.
(Note that if he'd given this instruction at the start, we could have simply marked presence w/ the crate number [1, 2, 3, etc] instead of a check-mark.)
