This is a fine example of Poe’s Law.[quote=“Mister44, post:13, topic:83876”]
No system is perfect, but bureaucrats are especially frustrating. Soviet style bureaucrats have their own tier in hell, I am convinced.

Yeah, but I think people draw an arbitrary and unwarranted distinction between bureaucracy in the public and private sector. An insurance company with 10,000 employees will have VPs inventing policies and corporate services people ensuring internal compliance the say way a public body with 10,000 employees will (replace VPs with politicians, though). Your last point is dead on, any system is only as good as the people running it.
