Not to deny that this is an increasingly litigious society, but if the bureaucracy is so sprawling, surely it gets to a level where it's too stuffed with reques

Not to deny that this is an increasingly litigious society, but if the bureaucracy is so sprawling, surely it gets to a level where it's too stuffed with requests to be able to respond to every triviality, no?
- dagw 3y agoFeeding people into the bureaucracy machine is quick, easy and looks good on your KPIs, so that is where the focus is. Helping people get out of the bureaucracy is hard and time consuming, so that mostly gets ignored. Being stuck in limbo for years with a pending CPS case would be shattering to most people, even if nothing concrete ends up happening.
- jerf 3y agoIt doesn't work that way, because bureaucracies do not have to operate on a first-come, first-serve basis. Across the time span of years, anyone can find themselves part of a politically-targeted group and find their case jumps the queue. I prefer to avoid that anti-lottery ticket if I can.
