The old 'oats by weight' steak dinner ;)

That's like the dude that set up his own parking ticket booth at a public parking lot and collected the payments for years before packing up and leaving - whereupon the city got notice that the parking attendant was gone, only to discover he was never even supposed to exist.

"agency caters to business interest"

When is this not the case, ever?

I wholeheartedly agree, but there's endless examples of federal agencies doing absolutely nothing if it means going up against 'money' and aligned interests - which isn't exactly surprising, nor is it limited to the USA.

Very good point!

Some agencies are far more receptive/responsive to public pressure than others.
