re: #308 Obdicut

Say I need to buy a hammer at the company I work at.

There is a request submitted. That request is then looked at by a supervisor. If passed on, that approved request is passed on to the purchasing dept. They pass the request on to the warehouse of hammers or to a manufacturer who fill send the hammer when there are enough hammers to send. Then, the appropriate department will advise the hammer is available and will be shipped to a local facility where it will then be shipped again or available for pickup.

Your complain is about bureaucracy, not government.

Yes, it is (though no one does bureaucracy better than the government). And asking to eliminate 10% dead weight is not asking for a lot.
