My neighbor was a college professor. A nice guy despite being an admitted political radical.
As a college professor he could take year long sabbaticals. And he would use his time to go work in federal administrative agencies and write radical policies.
Multiply what he was doing by a few thousand of his fellow radical professors and it’s easy to see why normal America feels like an unaccountable government is making life worse. Because it is.
I assume he was paid by Los Federales for writing anti-Free Market. Anti-capitalist regulations. It is a power trip for these sociopaths.
