Sleeping on the job and getting away with it in Bolivia

Some Latin nations lead world in red tape - Andres Oppenheimer - MiamiHerald.com
The truth is, there is no red tape that I have ever seen. Lots of forms, lots of stickers, seals, stamps but no red tape. Our little business is a sole proprietorship and no, it did not take 99% of the equivalent per-capita income. Maybe a few hundred bolivianos (exchange rate is 7.02 Bs per US Dollar). Frustrating: yes. Impossible: no. Could it be better: yup. And the only employees that get to sleep on the job at our establishment are the dogs on a hot afternoon....
