  ... or pretty much every large organization ever if you're somehow falling between the cracks, and your approval isn't critical to their survival. Paying em money isn't enough, unless it's enough money to move the needle. People blaming government for this nastiness apparently have never dealt with any big businesses? I mean, the government is exceptionally large and powerful, so that's even worse simply by scale; but on the other hand, they don't tend to cut corners quite as extremely as businesses do. In any case it's hardly a night and day difference. If anything, the kinds of checks present on the government should be present on all organizations beyond a certain size.
