This one was so fucking stupid. I honestly couldn't believe they were putting barriers. I literally never suggested projects that they did not benefit from substantially. The wiki was going to be hosted on their own servers and administered by them for chrissakes?

But it wasn't their idea and maybe if all these staffers suddenly knew stuff they would ask for more things heaven forbid. Such a difficult decision.

Wonder if that's the problem. "You mean we need to learn how to manage the wiki and update our servers to host this/give proper permissions to users? Sorry, my brain can't handle any new information, I'm afraid we won't be able to do any work on this"

Why do I believe that if you had offered to host it on a server controlled by your senators office instead of Schumer's, they would have pushed back because they wouldn't have any control over it

It certainly does not help that the people at the top do not understand very basic things about how systems work. But they have very talented IT people at the top of the ladder who would have been easily able to talk them through it. But they don't know what they don't know.
