Amazing write-up, some really good kicks in there. The bloat in bureaucracy can be seen in the software itself too. Much of today's consumer software fundamentally performs the same function it did 20 years ago, yet it suffers from the same kind and number of bugs, runs slower, and uses more compute resources. Whatever advances have been in hardware are many times counteracted by the bloat of software. "Below 1% is easily affordable, so the bureaucracy will naturally grow beyond that size as predicted by Parkinson's law" applies to the software itself as much as it does to the bureaucracy it enables.
