Yesterday's idea got me thinking about how hard it is to do some things because there is so much red tape. And red tape is always a foreign, imposed system. And the people who are on the other side never fully grasp that and actively refuse to help. I know cause I have to do it everyday.
So riffing off of yesterday, I would like a site devoted to getting some tough bureaucratic things done. Like getting a passport, applying to schools, getting a loan. You know, crappy things.
My idea is for there to be PDFs that are both step by step instructions and also all of the forms you need to fill out and where to send or put them. That way it is all in one place, easy and printable. Of course in this day it would probably have to also be online and contain all the right links. But the idea remains.
Ci reminded me that things like this already exist in the form of so many how to sites. But I still insist that this should be a collection of all the necessary material and stuffs all in one place. Click of the button. And then hours of paper work. But still. At least it isn't hours of searching for the right papers to then spend hours doing the work.

despite the existence of similar-sounding sites, i still think this is brilliant. especially if you can print out all the forms and have the right addresses for where to send everything.
genius!
