Daycare Update

The municipality where my daycare will be is run by typical nonsensical bureaucrats. I think there's ample information out there revealing how the state grinds dailiy activities for private businesses almost to a halt.

Get this.

The outside truss of the extension the owner built needs, well, to be covered. His option was to use the same existing wood - which is old and cheap - or a new kind of (press) wood material which is of superior quality.

He figured, logically of course (because, you know, he OWNS the building), he'll put the better material. More importantly, he even had the exact same color of paint as the rest of the building. Not only that, his friend was ready to come and install it for him on a specific day because beyond that, he was too busy. It was perfect.

Until the government inspector stuck his fat, stupid nose into it.

Apparently, the owner can't do what he logically wants to do. He needs a permit. Why? Because it's a "change of material."

But wait. He already has a building permit. Nope. Each time you make changes it demands a new permit.

Of course, all this makes sense to a bureaucrat but to those of us on the outside it has absolutely zero worth since it costs time and money. Why? Well, the owner can't use the material and the person he had lined up can't come until January.

Know what he was told? "Not my problem. These are the laws."

Every single time he wants to make improvements he has to take it to the city and then has to wait until they meet (once a month) to make a decision. How the hell does this town function? People have to sit and wait for these bozos to make a decision on stuff they know nothing about?

In other words, "we're behind in our thinking and you must stay at our pace."

Pure joke.

It's excessive interventionism.
