    Private interests benefit from bureaucracies because they act as a middle-man, hindering the public from making more direct democratic decisions on its behalf. In other words, bureaucracies can be corrupted by private interests:

    * Regulatory capture - Regulators may act in the interests of private interests instead of the public interest (called "regulatory capture").
    * Gifts - Bureaucrats may receive gifts from private interests, such as expensive watches, jewelry, or cars. These gifts may be offered in exchange for preferential treatment.
    * Political connections - Interest groups may have political connections that give them influence over public policy.


    CORRUPTION AND BUREAUCRACY IN PUBLIC SERVICES
    Lambsdorff argues that a downsized public sector will be the consequence of bureaucratic corruption.

    -------------------------

    At the same time, a well functioning (uncorrupted) bureaucracy is essential to mitigating private sector corruption:

    Helping Hand or Grabbing Hand? State Bureaucracy and Privatization Effectiveness
    We find that privatization is more effective in regions with relatively large bureaucracies. Our analysis suggests that this effect is driven by the impact of bureaucracy on the postprivatization business environment, with better institutional support and less corruption when bureaucracies are large.

    So, what is evident is that the bigger the private sector becomes, the bigger the govt must become to regulate it on behalf of the public's interest & well-being.

    1)2020 contender - She became more popular than even Biden (and Biden was more popular than Trump), and would've won had Trump et al. not cheated.
    2) Senator - What did she do as Senator that was so 'awful'?
    3) VP - VP's don't make presidential decisions.

    Who is 'most people'?

    Noone knows how good she would be as a president. She's never been one. But we all knew what kind of president Trump would be - even before his first term. And we were right.

    As usual, Fox News fearmongering & projection. This is the kind of stuff fuhrer Trump will be doing. Better lock your doors really tight.

    He didn't have a to do a thing. On Fox News he said he had "instructions", and also told his voters they won't have to vote after 4 years because they got it all 'fixed'. It was probably mostly Elon Musk & Putin that orchestrated it, along with perhaps members of the banking cartel. Mike Johnson certainly knew, but not sure if he had any direct role. But I'm just speculating. We need an investigation.

    Joe Rogan claimed Elon Musk knew who won the US Elections "4 hours before the results". Rogan said: "Apparently Elon created an app and he knew who won four hours before the results. So as the results were coming in, four hours before they called it, Dana White told me Elon was like 'I'm leaving. It's over. Donald won'. He just f***** [laughs] somehow or another. It's like, I don't know where he's pulling his data from but he had like the most accurate data."

    Trump admitted it anyway. It's just a matter of time before this is officially investigated.

    Hence Trump had to cheat to win.

    Anyone who has to cheat is the true failure.

    I would've thought you already had one with the 2020 'stolen election' myth, Jewish space lasers, Haitians eating dogs & cats, along with dozens of other crazy ideas Trump & his Q-anon allies push.

    not responsive
    bottom line-we won your side lost
    and Trump has the senate and even RINOS collins and Murkowski cannot stop his picks
    smart money is Thomas and Alito retire and Trump gets two young and brilliant hard conservatives appointed and if Sotomayor steps down due to her poor health, he might get three
