    Government employees will take it personal too. Like even just asking a park employee what herbicide they are spraying in a park on weeds they will get an attitude. Like right off the bat. They consider anyone asking, or challenging the methods they use as a crank, they commiserate about crazy assholes, think people are stupid, and all back each other up. All government employees back up each other and their decisions by default, whether it’s supporting local cop abusing his authority or a school only using fb.

    Any sort of effort to get them to change needs to be an organized attempt if it has a chance of success, as the psychology of these guys precludes individual efforts from helping much.
