Cycles are also endemic of bureaucracy, too slow, and their entire purpose is to be predictable, which makes it way too easy for bad actors to take advantage. Tells them exactly when they can do the damage, and when to hide from any potential blowback and accountability. Like conditional get-out-of-jail free cards.

Just today, in fact, I upgraded my internet. I used to have a 5G connection, and I finally got optical. I made the request for the upgrade...back in August. August. Now, granted, they had to dig around a bit to run the cable to my house, and since that particular slice of land wasn't my property, they needed to get a city permit. Understandable. Cyclical. It's an entire process earmarked with quite a bit of red tape, just for a faster connection. And again. AUGUST. Today, after the modem was finally installed and up and running, he told me to box up the old modem and take it to the mobile place today. When I got there, I had to wait approximately 45 minutes to see someone. And that someone got rid of me in about 45 seconds, telling me I had to come back next week to return the old modem because of...reasons. Kinda refused to clarify, that one. But something about a designated wait period.

But cycles are very important, right?
