There are entire industries dedicated to analysing and interpreting the ‘fine print’ of government regulations.
What is amazing is that the system can support these leeches without collapsing.

The expediters know how to covertly distribute the bribes to grease the skids of the bureaucracy.

However, not for City functions. I use them for renewing my passport (Federal) and non-Driver License (State). The DMV is where you go if you have led a bad life.
