True story:
I took an engineering job as a remote employee with dept HQ in Burlington Vermont ( 1993 ). First visit, I thought it was a nice town. Driving in town, I tuned into the local radio station to get a sense of the town and heard a concerned group discussion ( could have been a city council meeting or chamber of commerce ) about how hard it was to start a small business. Someone had counted that it took navigating the red tape of 27 government approvals. The solution they proposed and agreed to take forward was to establish a ( 28th) department to go to to help you with the other 27 department approvals.
Of course.
It's the obvious solution.

LOL!!! Good one and it makes perfect sense for gubmint to respond that way.
