You literally just ignored everything I said or directly nay-sayed it and kept banging the same drum which is isn't even relevant to this discussion.

It's pretty clear you're not interested in what I have to say.

Also?

A bureaucracy is when a government is set up to allow people who are career experts in their respective fields to make policy decisions that make sense, rather than clueless politicians.

Bless. You sweet soul.

Lol ok. Clearly you're the one with no interest in an actual conversation. I made a pretty well thought out comment and I'm not even sure you read it.

I guess I'm going to be the one to tell you, but that's exactly what bureaucracy means. Just because you have some warped definition in your mind, doesn't make it true.

I can't say I'm not curious to hear what you believe to be incorrect about what I said...

I'm actually starting to think that maybe you don't know what the word actually means? It's almost like maybe the only context you've seen/heard it used is from some commentator on YouTube that HATES bureaucracy so they only ever frame it in a certain way. And because of that, your concept of what it actually means, is completely skewed.

That's just the vibe I'm getting.

But ok hoss, let's hear it: What is "bureaucracy"?

I already told you the answer. It is literally two of my comments above this one.

I can’t say I’m not curious to hear what you believe to be incorrect about what I said…

You need to do better than that. I want to understand what you're saying here, but it is difficult. I would love to have a real conversation about this, but if you can't read what I've already written and respond to it, and you can't even pretend to be genuinely curious about what I have to say - not what I think of what you have to say, there is a difference - then I think we're done here.

If you can't admit curiosity and demonstrate it by responding to what I've said, I won't reply. If you can actually do those things after all this defensiveness then you will thoroughly surprise me, which is a genuine gift in this day and age.
