  1. This is why building regulations and regulations of ALL kinds are garbage. You should be judged on the safety and durability of your construction. You should operate on your REPUTATION. But with government "regulators" in charge, it's a matter of bribing one or two people. One guy looking the other way. One phone call from a powerful person to another powerful person. Government agencies are weaponized for the corrupt against the honest. It all starts out with smiles and good intentions, but NObody has a STAKE in it. I watched this kind of garbage from the USA side, as a huge C-SPAN addict way back in the 1980s. There wasn't a single committee hearing where they didn't start some new program, with new oversight, new funding, new bureaucrats. Everyone congratulated each other for "solving this major problem" and NObody talked about growth of government or spiraling cost of government. Every form you fill out, there were a bunch of legislators talking to some activist or lobbyist and garnering virtue points for spending our money to please that one constituency. They none of 'em spendin' they own money. They none of them dealin' with the extra red tape. And oversight is a joke. They spawn new agencies, programs and "initiatives" every day, and can't spare 5 minutes over the next 10 years to actually oversee any of it. Just get they damn pictures taken with somebody with a sob story, for a headline and a "Look how concerned they are! Look how much they CARE!" They don't care. They never did and never will. There's just no penalty for saying "yes," and nothing but problems if they say "no."
