i blame it on the rent seeking cancer that's growing everywhere. no matter what you do, at least half a dozen retards will suddenly pop up and hold open their hands to collect some fees so they put a rubber stamp on a form no one will ever read, but without which you aren't allowed to do it. it consumes massive amounts of resources and puts the whole economy at their mercy. i remember something about only 20 million people in germany actually producing any surplus value, and the 60 million others simply living as a human appendix that endlessly redistributes and shifts that value among themselves without producing anything of tangible value themselves.
