  1. 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! 🙄✨

  6. 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.

  7. 🚦 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. 📈

  8. 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.

  10. Our govts are keen to reduce #RedTape for business and Investments arguing it to be necessary to grow the economy, yet the very people who provide the seed ideas for such growth and prosperity are plunged into bottomless pits of excrutiating govt processes.

    “Discovery grants are a key pillar of Australia’s research ecosystem, allowing scientists to do fundamental “blue-sky” research over a three-year funding period.
    The Australian Research Council took nine months to process the 2025 grants. For the 2026 grants, they are now proposing to take up to 16 months.”

  11. 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

  16. ⚠️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.

  21. 🔥 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/

  22. Ting trækker lidt ud med den nye opgave. I kontrakten står der, at jeg garanterer at jeg kan blive sikkerhedsgodkendt. By all means, jeg stiller gerne op og svarer på spørgsmål, men garanterer ligefrem?

    Jeg er jo ikke ligefrem den udstedende myndighed, og såvidt jeg forstå er det noget der udstedes til én specifik stilling/opgave, og ikke noget man "kan tage med sig". En tidligere godkendelse kan allerhøjest være en mild indikator for at det måske kan lade sig gøre igen.

    Anyhoo, vi afventer lige lidt formulleringshalløj, tager ja-hatten på og håber på det bedste.

  23. RE: mastodon.social/@RonSupportsYo

    I agree that environmental laws often went too far. Their extremism slowed the construction of housing, which caused people to move from blue-states to red-states, giving red-states and Republicans an increasing Electoral College advantage which affects presidential elections.

    Blue-states are rewriting their laws, to remain competitive.

  25. cvilletomorrow.org/planning-co I had not realized that an entire basket of zoning process improvements I had taken for granted had been killed in Virginia since 2012. This change has caused a process we intended to be fast and inexpensive to become a six month ordeal for requests as small as a fence or shed. #Virginia #zoning #housing #RedTape #cville

  26. richmonder.org/affordable-hous “In particular, affordable developers have pointed to lot width and single family restrictions that have meant most duplex proposals or those involving parcels less than 50 feet wide have had to go through a lengthy — and costly — special use permit process requiring extra review and public hearings” #RVA #housing #zoning #shortage #inflation #RedTape #inequality
