The bureaucracy of war and disease

America's on a freefall toward incompetent government — so it would seem, anyway. And the problem is that as government grows, so, too, the bureaucratic frustrations. It's one thing when tax paying American citizens can't get a real human on a government agency's telephone, and instead have to run the gamut of one recorded message after another. But what of when the bloated and inefficient and unaccountable bureaucratic class wants to go to war — or tell the citizens to take a Covid shot and stay home? Documentary filmmaker Michael Pack has much to say about Afghanistan and Iran and Covid and more, all from the perspective of someone who's studied, and made movies about, the failures of government to provide properly for the people.
