Bureaucracy may be a byword for inefficiency and red tape, but it's still alive and kicking. In fact, it's more resilient than a cockroach in a nuclear winter.
So, why is it so hard to kill? Well, for one, it has a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. And by vested interest, we mean a bloated bureaucracy is just that – a fat, lazy, unproductive behemoth that's more concerned with perpetuating its own existence than actually doing any real work.
But don't get us wrong, there are ways to reform it, to make it more efficient, more productive. You see, the thing about bureaucracies is that they're like that one aunt who just won't die. You can try to kill it, but it just won't stay dead. So, you have to be creative, you have to think outside the box, and you have to make it do your bidding, one tedious form at a time.
So, join us in our fight against the undead, the unproductive, and the utterly, utterly annoying bureaucracy. Let's make it do our bidding, and may the paperwork be ever in your favor.
