Promote the Dog Sitter: And Other Principles for… por Edward L. Conley
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.
The inner workings of a bureaucracy are laid bare here for all to see. Ed Conley does a good job of providing insight into of the more humane organizations within this massively bureaucratic entity known as the U.S. one government. Kinder than he probably could have been, Conley describes the many disasters that he and FEMA have supported. There are many committed individuals at work in FEMA and in this volume Conley provides the reader with a window into the inner-workings. FEMA's reputation has been tarnished over the years by some mis-handled disasters, but disasters are difficult to deal with by their nature. In an ideal world, a government with as much overhead as ours should do a better job of handling any situation, yet most are mis-handled by those who can't lead getting in the way. "I'm from the government and I'm here to help." isn't a spine-chilling clique for no reason. Alas, Ed Conley can't be blamed for big government's failings.
Give it a read.
