File 003

The Committee

Every ordinary decision goes before a panel with excellent stationery and almost no useful wisdom.

The bit

Why it keeps coming back.

The Committee reviews ordinary choices with complete confidence and very little useful judgment.

A simple decision receives an absurd amount of review, concern, procedural language, and quiet disappointment.

Approved, unfortunately.
