CFR is a mess

Yeah it wouldn't take much to arrange the apps by date received rather than just throwing the next app on top of the pile.

At this rate, the building might collapse first!

Maybe why they have finally decided that the building is no longer safe and a quick plan is needed...
The concrete columns in the basement are bending and buckling under the weight from the reams of paper in the building above...

If the building collapses and these records are lost, are we then having a repeat of few years ago where GREEN records burnt down (or something that made them missing) and then we will get YELLOW cards (where the white cards becomes the new green cards)?
The whole cycle can then start from afresh again (almost like The Matrix, or maybe rather Groundhog Day).

I handed in 7 section 16 apps in sept/oct and they were all approved in the last month, I was a bit miffed that it took 6 months to get approved, after seeing the pics of the cfr offices i'm surprised they all made it through.

Seeing those pics, I wonder how many apps they actually read? I've always thought they work on a ratio system. I.e. they read one app, rubber stamp 3 and casually decline 2.
