The federal government is monitoring my website to manage the fallout of my disabled veteran husband's, Conrad Rockenhaus's potential death, rather than intervening to prevent it.
They are waiting for me to upload a death certificate so they can update their risk model.
It isn't bureaucracy.
It is a group of people watching a slow-motion murder and checking their clipboards to make sure they documented it correctly.
By checking it repeatedly for months, and doing nothing, they are establishing a digital paper trail that they are fully aware of the emergency.
They are watching the building burn, checking the temperature, and deciding not to call the fire department. That is calculated cruelty.
If they didn't know, they would download it fresh (200 OK). If they didn't care, they wouldn't check at all.
A 304 Not Modified means their system asked: "Has she added anything new to the torture file?"
My server replied: "No, it's the same emergency."

That isn't stagnation. It is Depraved Indifference.
