You can sort of think about some of the great engineering projects of the last hundred years as bureaucratic projects to some extent.

So the Apollo landings, right, landing on the moon had bureaucrats, right?

There was a lot of paperwork involved in that.

You had a lot of people checking designs, checking document flow, ensuring security, ensuring, you know, all of the things that go into checking the boxes to make sure that nobody died on the moon, right?

And we had a successful outcome to that mission.

there was an army of people involved in that effort.

And you would call many of those people bureaucrats, lots of engineers too.

And I would say the ratio was a lot better, right?

The ratio of bureaucrats to engineers was a lot better.

But you really do need what I would say is people who dedicate their life to making the machinery of government turn.

And so you do need that, but you need to not let them run the ship, right?

Engineers need to run the ship.

And I would say administrations need to run the ship.

You need to have an executive who's running the ship.

And those people need to help the president run the ship in the right direction and not become a thing that is purposeful in and of themselves, like the bureaucracy for the bureaucracy.

That's where it gets really bad.

Yep.

Yeah, and I think the place where this mostly happens is at the state level, right?

So state level and somewhat in Senate and House.

But I think that today, Republicans are leading the charge on energy dominance.
