Thoughts on this?

Video is 13 minutes long.

It seems that there is a lot of government bloat (I know, I know) but it also meshes with non-profits and other businesses involved, which culminates in the state (in the truly Marxian sense of the word) having a lot of bureaucracy to it ("you stay in your role and I stay in mine").

Posting so that I can find this thread when I get off work and can watch. I've been working in shelters for some years now and have a lot of critiques of how we do things. Curious to see if my experiences line up with this.

I eagerly await what you have to say on this. I'm interested in second opinions here.
