Red tape is no joke. You wouldn’t believe how far permitting and building/safety people will kick the can down the road in LA. People screech it’s “democrat policy” but I’m telling you it’s not even close to the problem… it’s just because those departments are top heavy with OLD MEN in management. And a lot of those fucks are hardcore GOP.
The problem is almost always middle management males creating paralyzing issues to milk overtime.

Why does it always seem to be middle aged men with the overtime abuse? I remember they found these few NJ Transit maintenance men IDK but they colluded to hide in a shack next to the tracks and watch TV together and claim OT for years.

I don’t think women in general have the luxury to be as sloppy and corrupt.
The LAFD fire inspector… who put me through an 18 month unresolvable pause on the final building permit for a $55 million project I co-lead… when I looked him up on transparentcalifornia.com…
He had made $1 million in OT alone in the last five years. On top of his $200k+ bloated salary.
He would just reschedule reschedule reschedule until his appearances would be OT for him (like 4am) AND for our construction team. He would argue stupidity like… to sign off on an assembly space that can hold 90 people max… he calculated there had to be emergency egress for 1,800 people.
1,800 couldn’t fit in the entire building unless people were stacked like a slave ship.
Those are the kinds of things these men do. And they all double down for each other, so trying to go above them goes nowhere.

Hmm I worry I come off misandrist since women in government are also capable of The Dumb… it’s just that anything involving building permits or construction planning is absolutely 99.99% male, and they still continue to freeze out women from management like it’s 1960. It’s so bad that it makes fire and police departments look progressive.
