“The flood planning worked well but some areas were just overwhelmed by the sheer amount of water.”
LOL...Only a government bureaucrat would have the nerve to utter this excuse. If people were fired for mismanagement and dereliction of duty, they might at least stop giving these lame excuses for failure.
Exactly:
After a family is tortured/murdered and their house burned down...the bureacrats say they’ll review their parole policies. Then we’ll be told everything was done by the book.
How many times do we have to read about a child abducted and murdered by a KNOWN predator?! But the “justice” system always tells us they “didn’t have a choice but to release” the vermin. “Didn’t have a choice” = we ticked off every checkbox in the bureaucrats handbook. I.e., the “handbook” doesn’t anticipate actually trying to accomplish a goal (protecting children). It’s written solely as job protection.
I left off probably the best example: the education bureaucracy. Their handbook covers every action one might face...except educating children.
