I notice this too. I also see bureaucrats choose policy or implementation details without any way of trying to measure if outcomes match their expectations. This results in lots of bad policy and general state mismanagement. Curtis Yarvin talks about how FDR created federal departments to ensure his programs could not easily be stopped by his successors. This is spun as “it is better to let experts work out the details.” But we don’t have a good way to determine who is best to make a decision, who is the top expert? I think almost all policy should be fully democratic and it should be possible for the public to remove bureaucrats who make unpopular decisions. I like the idea of direct democracy but it does require a very well informed population which is a very high bar.
