My point was fairly clear, and the phrasing you omitted turned my argument into a straw man.
The US Government is not a monolith. It is a collection of individuals and organizations acting independently and at odds with one another. This is by design.
- innguest 12y agoGovernment passes laws to regulate themselves. People who work for the government pass laws to regulate what they can and can't do in the role of government worker. It is a monolith in the sense that there is no non-government entity helping them in this endeavor. They make the rules, they enforce the rules, they investigate misdeeds and they decide if people are criminals or not. That's why bankers rarely go to jail. I did not make a strawman - read what I said again and wake up.
