Your Super Sunday schadenfreude breakfast treat: JournoList genius Matt Yglesias has an epiphany while waiting in line for government permits to rent his condo.
Maestro, cue sad trombone.
Oh the amazing things you discover when you step outside your happy little village of people who write for a living about people who redistribute money for a living to people who relax for a living. Where does all that redistributed money come from? Ben Bernanke, silly!
Perhaps instead of starting a small business, young Matt should have taken the time-honored liberal approach and started a BIG business. Your Super Sunday schadenfreude breakfast treat: JournoList genius Matt Yglesias has an epiphany while waiting in line for government permits to rent his condo.

Matt’s ”solution?”
Matt is missing the entire point of Leftist regulatory nightmarism: it is an employment scheme for thousands of gov’t paperpushers who have no job skills whatsoever.
Put the paperwork on line and you will add to the unemployment rolls.
The unions at the ports have successfully fought against anything but paper filled out with pen and pencil for decades.
@Nan G:
Good point, Nan.
Unfortunately, the liberal/progressive will discount that aspect of “building” a business and likely use it as “proof” that “you didn’t build that”. How could you, after all, when, in order to actually build something, you have to rely on people who aren’t even remotely connected to whatever it is you are trying to build, to make a decision, or file the correct paperwork, so that you, yourself, can go ahead with whatever it is you want to build.
