My dad worked as an engineer for the Feds for 30 years. Eventually promoted to a GS14. I've listened to people bitch about public servants. But seriously it's job. Above a certain level everything is partly political. Government doesn't do anything without an overriding need/patron. Effective politicians have to be able to balance competing interests, hire and lead teams with extensive domain knowledge about how various government agencies work. Understand the law. Goes on and on. It's kinda deranged that a google bro gets paid more for vastly less important work.
