Nobody grows up dreaming of a career shuffling directives around Brussels.
Those jobs always fill with the same type of person: people drawn to power for its own sake, the ones who crave authority without ever answering for it. Bureaucracy doesn’t attract the best. It selects for the worst, then shields them when they inevitably screw up.
Hayek named this in The Road to Serfdom. His chapter “Why the Worst Get on Top” spelled out the logic. Unchecked power appeals most to the people least troubled by wielding it.
Mises found the engine underneath. In a market, a bad decision shows up as a loss, and losses remove you. Bureaucratic management faces no such test. Fail to fix a problem and you keep your job, then collect a bigger budget and a larger staff to keep failing with. The incentive runs backwards: waste earns you more, and the machine grows on its own.
Look at the European Union. Ursula von der Leyen presides over the Commission, the body that proposes almost all EU law. No European voter ever put her there. Heads of state handed her the post in a 2019 backroom deal and waved her through parliament. Christine Lagarde runs the European Central Bank, setting monetary policy for more than 340 million people and steering the value of the money in their pockets. She faced no voters for the job either.
You can throw out your national government every few years, but nothing above it moves, the apparatus stays. The unelected keep their offices, their pensions, their power, untouched by the only check ordinary people have.
This is the design, not a flaw in it. The people with the most control over your money and your future are the ones you are not allowed to fire.
Physicist William Happer and MIT's Richard Lindzen recently went on the Joe Rogan podcast.
For once, real physicists, not activists, got mainstream airtime.
"The theory that CO2 is the climate's control knob doesn't work," said Happer, adding that Lindzen and others could have made far more progress "if they hadn't been forced to deal with this CO2 cult."
Most activists don't understand the science, they just repeat what fits their ideology and parrot the failed forecasts made by bad actors.
But the tide is turning.
And the science is finally being heard.

Most people have noticed that the Left-wing MSM seem reluctant to report on Fauci, or any revelations about Covid.
Why? Because they are accomplices to this crime against humanity. They are just as much responsible for Covid as Fauci is.
The Deep State’s plan does not work, without the MSM spreading all the fear and panic. The MSM played a vital role in pushing for shutdowns, justifying their election overhaul with mass mail-in ballots, and were obviously the main drivers of the psychological demoralization of The People.
If you are waiting for the day for the Left-wing MSM to report the truth, that day is never coming. They will lie, deny, deflect, ignore, etc., to their very last breath. The truth must be disseminated by We the People.
It’s up to us.
