Thread Name: BS: Worst inventions of all time.
Subject: RE: BS: Worst inventions of all time.
Bert your initial post about organizations is too simplistic. The reason for a Bureaucracy was to support Imperial power that communicated as quickly as ships could go.

Today the reason why exasperation is the chief product by some organizations is that they become hobbled by out side agency political tricks of cash starvation and hyper vigilance over the small stuff to the point, for example, that we can not give a cup of coffee to an eminent scientist who just traveled 10 hours to advise the NIH, because, supposedly, we are fighting government waste.
In reality the cup of coffee rule ends up having a 90 minute line with one clerk collecting money from each scientist,. 228 wasted man hours result from the law that says we can not buy coffee in one transaction for an invited guest who is volunteering their time and expertise.

It gets worse but Gov. waste is an invention to cover up the oily wall street military handouts and shout about a free muffin or cup of coffee.
