Bureaucracy is a wonderful thing, an amazing achievement for humanity. Compare a nation with a functioning bureaucracy vs. a nation that doesn't. The paperwork chain breaks corruption, breaks broken incentives, localizes the impact

I typically hate on websites pretty hard, but actually I don't have much problem with that site. Maybe it's a bit orange, but it's clear and usable. What are your objections to it?
