Bureaucratic red tape… mtcheew!

Whilst learned-Gambia takes complicated work for a standard by which bigmanism is measured, the rest of intelligent civilisation is getting rid of excessive regulations and cutting bureaucratic red tape, because all it does is create more corrupt hands for the cookie jar, makes irrelevant jobs essential, increases the cost of doing business, and slows the efforts of those with ideas (entrepreneurs and innovators) and genuinely want to do more than mere talk.

I’m not blaming anyone. It’s a systemic predicament, and it looks like it’s here to stay, because the people we trust to effect change are relying on the same dysfunctional system. You know what they say: 'standard procedures create standard people' who can only do the things they’re told to do.

This is why when you go ah Portland, make some dough, come back ayard to invest, you go to a typical office and say you need approval to start something, you’re caused to undergo a twenty-ten-hour grease-every-palm-you-meet office-to-office trek, before you can finally see the APSDADRA (Acting Principal Senior Deputy Assistant Director Responsible for Approvals - that’s how pompous the nomenclatures are), and a signature as ugly as a right-handed person’s left-handed drawing.
