Attempts at banning coffee is an extremely bad mistake. The human race can be very effective with bureaucratic regulations. Some perverse people even enjoy it.
I am one of those. But only when properly documented and flow charted. You would be amazed at how easy life in the military is if you know the regs and have them relevant regs and Training Manuals with highlight revelante sections. That way when idiots in various departments fuck up you can effectively tell them to go fuck themselves and do their job or else. I was a terror My S-1 NCOIC forbade me from interacting with anyone below SSG or CPT in the office cause the regular joes always ended up getting a lecture and a class on how to fucking do their damn jobs at a vocal level that shook the walls..... I was not surprised when I was transferred to Squadron and assigned to that very office because the CSM wanted someone he didn't have to worry about handling items with Federal oversight and inspections even overseas.

That’s probably the reason coffee is in military field rations. I’ve seen guys take a pinch of freeze dried coffee and place it between their cheek and gum to get their coffee fix. Tried it a few times and decided to stick with tea. Downside was lack of time or ability to boil water……maybe also the caffeine rush may have not only woke you up but gave you a headache.
Mix your tea with left over tobacco and do the same thing. Longer caffeine fix. I did not like USA ration gum because it already was laced with caffeine so I used store bought gum when I could.

Absolutely unrealistic. There isn't a bureaucrat or admin on Earth that can simplify or streamline let alone eliminate, paperwork. Efficiency is an unknown word in the world of paperwork.
Germans reformed and streamlined the entire name change process from taking over 6 years on average to 3 months and eliminated I think 3 different laws. And those 3 months are only in case you wanna change your mind on changing your name, otherwise it would be a matter of 3 weeks

This was really quite hilarious. Ah, good old malicious compliance. One of humanity’s greatest guerrilla warfare tools. Capable of being successfully deployed against anything from the local office tyrant all the way to inter dimensional taxation. Especially anything to do with coffee.
Anyone who engaged in office politics knows how vicious malicious compliance is. Especially to those unable to grasp when the regs are being manipulated. And if you can’t win with reason then bury your enemy in paperwork until they give up or get demoted. 😎
Highly amused by this tale. I laughed quite a bit. I would suggest the elimination of the captions, as the misspelling and incorrect usage of words are a distraction. Thank you for an entertaining story.
However much I like this train of thought, I must say that it is highly unrealistical that all of the Earths bureaucracy would ever be managable out of one office, through one single man.
I'm reminded of a star trek episode where Picard used an alien race's hyper complex bureaucracy against them, something about calling a race to act as a mediator, said race was in a hibernation period that lasted for like 7 years at the time
I remember that one! Some humans had accidentally settled on a planet claimed by a very beaurocratic race who were just going to kill all the settlers before they had time to evacuate, because their agreement woth the federation said they only had to give 7 days notice. So Picard stalled them by threatening to using a clause that allows him to call for arbitration with any race he wants. And he wanted a race that was currently in hibernation, and would be for months. So they let him have a few days to evacuate the settlers
What Americans think the standards of bureaucracy is is rather cute. Shuffling papers? Personal signatures? Most of the world have move beyond that years ago. I file my taxes by typing in my income and pressing a button, I sign contracts using my digital signature by the push of a button. I haven't received a letter in 15 years (besides Christmas cards from grandma , etc) It's pretty much only the U.S and the 3rd world who still operate their bureaucracy like in the 1950ties.

These stories as so stupid sometimes; but i do laugh. So well done. keep up the good work :)
I am all for the comedy. It is worse when a story tries to be serioues and STILL do this.
LMAO! This story always brings a smile to me when I am in need of some levity. Great job. I think this is my 6th time reading it, :)
26:21 YUBON... or Yuban? Yuban was a popular coffee brand in the U.S.A. back in the 80's and the early 90's. Historically hilarious story telling!!

both are fuel to keep the engine running. just some engines are bio chemical in nature.

Wanna know a funny fact? Coffee actually HAS regulations in most countries which is handled by their own version of food and drug administrations.
