the-uses-of-bureaucracy

A yellow caption banner reads: "PROBLEM: LARGE BUREAUCRACIES TEND TO BE SLOW AND INEFFICIENT. SOLUTION: CREATE LARGE BUREAUCRACIES FOR STUFF WE DON'T LIKE." Below, a man in a brown suit and blue tie sits on a couch with a woman in a pink shirt in their living room. He asks, "Hey, weren't you planning to go downtown to yell at ethnic minorities today?" She replies, "My racism license hasn't come in yet." He protests, "But you sent the paperwork weeks ago!" She explains, "I sent my driver's license but they needed a passport, so I had to re-send, and then I... look it's a whole thing okay?" The joke imagines bigotry regulated by a slow government licensing office. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-lettered panel where the man exclaims, "Oh my GOD. How about a large bureaucracy for the creation of large bureaucracies?!"
