The thing is you are many layers away from these people, using your taxes for god knows what. At least local politicians will have to ingratiate themselves a little bit. Starting from the top, zero accountability. Have you ever met someone who worked at UN, EU? The chasm between those and private industry is huge. People get a ton of benefits for little work. I personally know a few people who gave up their cushy EU job as it ate at their soul to make pretend work. Whoever stays is too dumb or just grifting.
