Another Example of the Idiotic Bureaucracies Forced Upon Us
October 1st, 2009 . by Robert
Michingan Mom told she can’t have neighborhood kids wait for the school bus at her house without a license from the state.
The bureaucrat that sent the warning letter to her should be fired. The law should be reviewed and the drafters of the original legislation should be tarred and feathered! O.K. maybe that’s a little harsh.
At the very least, a review of such policies needs to be completed and the bureaucracies need to be restrained in such cases of utter nonsense.
There are supposed to be directors, managers, case workers, and review mechanisms in place that can oversee and step in when the idiot proofing fails. This is a common problem in bureaucracies where a rigid adherence to the written rule supplants all possibility of the use of practical sense.
Have organizations where practical sense and critical thinking are valued become extinct?
Situations like this certainly make one wonder!
