Are we there Yet?
Just a little something for a friend who has recently had to deal with the Australian bureaucracy. Just quietly he said that it is much worse in some European countries. But i guess they would have to, since they actually have a welfare system and all....
anyways the conversation stemmed to the fact that the end result in any bureaucracy is that one person and the end of a line says yes that's "ok" and gives a stamp so that another person may recieve benefits or the like. It seems that all that paper and black ink...that indefatiguable writing of truth that cannot be misinterpreted - as though it was handed down from God herself - just gets in the way and hinders process.
Well check out this article on process being hindered.
