I get what you mean, but I think bureaucracy is an inherently negative term.
I’d say policy and legislation can be good. Bureaucracy is policy that overcomplicates things.
Of course, what people call bureaucracy entirely depends on their incentives. For a CEO anything that makes it harder for him to increase profits (like privacy laws) would be bureaucracy.
Not always. If you really need to keep track of several things, then it’s a necessity. The real question is whether some things actually need to be tracked.
The thing is that a lot of bureaucracy feels like it’s been weaponized in order to piss off people - I nearly didn’t get my current job because of that, I was asked for my PIS/PASEP number (Brazilian thing), but the bank didn’t have the means to print a whole ass official document stating that my number was whatever, I was literally given a photo of the manager’s screen checking their system, showing my data and said number. When I went to give my documents to my new employer, they looked at the number without any “official” paper and were like “no, this is invalid”.
Nope. Bureaucracy is how you keep a society functioning. There’s nothing inherent in it that makes it bad or inflexible. That’s just poorly implemented bureaucracy.
Bureaucracy is good and this is stupid.
