  1. I have just signed a contract in a Notariat. Whilst unscrewing my fountain pen, I was told I had to use the pen provided. It, apparently, has a DIN specification number for the ink used, and only this ink is approved for the signing of official documents. The fact of use must also be confirmed in writing.

  3. 🤔 Ah yes, the "European Social Stack," where Europeans dream of overthrowing Big Tech with open declarations and #kumbaya hand-holding. Because nothing says "revolution" like a bunch of bureaucrats drafting manifestos. 😂 Apparently, a "diverse and resilient information infrastructure" is just around the corner... if only they could stop tripping over their own red tape. 🏗️📜

  7. Ah, the Department of Homeland Security—a bastion of efficiency and customer service—has decided to "almost" stop granting green cards. 🚫📜 So basically, they're doing what they've always done but with a new coat of red tape. 🎨🔴 Welcome to the bureaucratic Twilight Zone, where nothing changes except the excuses! 🙄✨

  9. The #Yukon #Government is asking citizens to submit red tape issues. Good! There is an online form, but it is not easy to find:

    forms2.service.yukon.ca/ca/en/

    They ask you to "upload any documentation to support your feedback", but then they restrict that to ".png, .jpeg, .doc, .docx or .pdf" - and only a single file, max 10 MByte.

    Can't make that up.

  11. ⬆️ @ngate

    >> 🚀 the future is here, and it's all about building #SaaS on #EU #infrastructure without #AWS—because nothing screams #innovation like reinventing the wheel with EU-approved #redTape. 🇪🇺 The guide triumphantly answers the age-old question: can bureaucracy power your next big tech venture? Spoiler alert, it’s 100% EU, 0% sense.🙄

    If humans did not constantly reinvent "the" wheel, we'd still be rolling everything on logs. Can you imagine landing an airplane on logs, much less taking off?

  12. 🚦 Ah, the ol' "more cooks in the kitchen" conundrum, except now it's "more layers of review" — because everyone knows #bureaucracy is the true sport of #champions. 🏆 Apparently, assembling a human pyramid of red tape doesn't speed things up? Who knew! At least now we have an equation to validate our #procrastination. 📈

  14. In the next pod, I'll discuss #DoctorWho: #Battlefield. I'll also enjoy complaining about #BT, #Uber, #Lime #eScooters, #Ikea, #British #redtape, and anything else I can literally shake either one of my poorly sized #walkingsticks at.

  17. A quotation from Eugene McCarthy

    The only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy is inefficiency. An efficient bureaucracy is the greatest threat to liberty.

    Eugene McCarthy (1916-2005) American politician, poet, activist
    Quoted (1979-02-12), “People: On the Record” section, Time Magazine

  19. Welcome to the Consumer Council's dazzling maze of red tape and recycled advice! 🎉🔍 While their "Break Free" guide promises liberation from confusion, it’s more like a scavenger hunt through bureaucratic jargon and endless links. 🚪🔗 But hey, if you're into reading aimless lists instead of actually getting help, this is your jackpot! 🎰🏆

  21. ⚠️Spoiler Alert: When complexity feels "too simple to be true," it is usually because the reality is simple.
    Despite past tricks, we can no longer afford to artificially complicate simple problems just to squeeze out more tax revenue. The mask is slipping.

  22. 🔥 Dear EU citizens: Manfred #Weber, @vonderleyen and the EU Member State "leaders" (#Merz, #Meloni) want to kill EU #Environmental Legislation that protects us . On clean air to breath, water to drink, and nature to deliver its services. Let's not tolerate but get loud, with a clear message: #HandsOffNature! Sign the petition and share the video, thanks 🙏 #Omnibus #Deregulation #Competitiveness #RedTape #Simplification handsoffnature.eu/
