Interesting take you offer there saluteanon.
I ‘casually’ interact with many local, state and federal ‘officials’ who continue to resist acknowledgement of a massive problem in their own laps, yet will not budge from continuing to draw the paychecks. Wish they would just acknowledge they are too cowardly and get the F out of the way.
A few, VERY VERY few will go so far as to acknowledge that, at least, at the moment of breakdown, they will stip off the paraphernalia, and dash home to hideout.
Ima bit miffed that they will nether fix the issue, but also stand in the way of letting other do so.
