Federal bureaucracy is kind of like a wild animal. Both can kill you, but bureaucracy has the law on its side.
Europe is buckling under the weight of immense debt and bureaucracy. It’s an amazing turn of events. American liberals look fondly to Europe. This comes from Euro tourist trips to Paris, Rome, and London. They see all the beautiful places, they ride on the rail, and they believe everything is perfect in Europe. They don’t notice the highly segregated cities, the high unemployment, and the fact no one actually rides the rail.
Europe is failing despite the fact the United States subsidized their economic model for a half century. It’s infuriating. Now Europe is looking to the United States for a bailout. We’ve saved the continent in two world wars and given them free health care for over 50 years and now we’re supposed to bail them out?
If there was only one great example I could cite that encapsulates Europe’s bureaucracy run amok… Wait, there is! European Union officials spend time and resources dedicated to proving water doesn’t hydrate. Huh? No, I’m really telling the truth.
EU officials concluded that, following a three-year investigation, there was no evidence to prove the previously undisputed fact.
Producers of bottled water are now forbidden by law from making the claim and will face a two-year jail sentence if they defy the edict, which comes into force in the UK next month.
People spent three years on this? These are the same bureaucrats that are shoving climate change down our throats and we’re supposed to take them seriously because they’re doing “serious research.” Right! Before anyone thinks “this can’t happen in America” I should remind you it already is.
Anyone remember the Climate Change Program Manager? American taxpayers are paying between $103,000 to $155,000 per year for a fantasy position at the National Park Service. Massive bureaucracy is crippling the world. You never know when the bureaucracy is going to attack.
A man in New Bedford caught a 881 pound tuna fish. Carlos Rafael was excited, but he’s going to need a bigger boat. Not to protect him from sharks, but from the great federal bureaucracy.
However, when Rafael rolled down the dock in Provincetown there was an unexpected and unwelcome development. The authorities were waiting. Agents from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Law Enforcement informed him they were confiscating his fish — all 881 pounds of it.
Even though the catch had been declared and the boat had a tuna permit, the rules do not allow fishermen to catch bluefin tuna in a net.
Why in the hell is there someone enforcing this law? I can understand cracking down on poachers, but this wasn’t the case. The guy accidentally caught the fish. I have no idea how much the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is paying these people to ruin people’s lives. I don’t want to know. I’m sure it would be too depressing for words.
In Idaho, a man protecting his family shot a grizzly bear but he forgot to ask daddy government if it was okay first. Daddy government arrested the man for killing an endangered animal. I think if most Americans were faced with the choice of following a government regulation or letting their family get mauled by a vicious grizzly they would do the same thing Jeremy Hill did. Kill the bastard.
Americans are like frogs in a pot. The water keeps getting warmer but we’re too distracted to notice we’re getting boiled/screwed. The long arm of bureaucracy is slowly strangling the country. Too much government. Too many bureaucrats. Too many laws and not enough common sense.
The job market is difficult these days, but it’s not a bad time to look for government jobs. While companies lay off employees left and right the government only adds and keeps jobs. Great, right? Club Soda forwarded me this job for the National Park Service. The position is for a Climate Change Program Manager.
The Climate Change Program Manager provides overall leadership and management of National Park Service responsibilities, policies, and interests in climate change programs in within the National Park System. The Climate Change office coordinates acquisition and application of broad-based scientific and planning expertise and technologies to support climate change and associated programs.
This job pays between $103,000 to $155,000 per year. Does this sound like a position that is useful? I won’t even go into the whole tired climate change nonsense. The National Park Service has been one of the most poorly run departments in the United States. It’s a shame because 50 years ago it was one of the best departments. Thanks to a growing bureaucracy full of clueless do-gooders it has become a terrible waste of taxpayer dollars.
The Department of the Interior needs to be downsized and broken into smaller departments. Smaller groups are more effective at allocating resources. When a bloated bureaucracy gets involved useless positions like a Climate Change Program Manager are invented to push a political agenda. The amount of wasted money in these government departments is staggering.
