Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:

I read a rant about government being inefficient and more of a hindrance than a help. That’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

Most government exists to regulate activities: set standards for operation; inspect to ensure compliance; license to permit operation while in compliance; revoke license for non-compliance; arrest, prosecute and sentence for operating without a license; data entry to record inspections, licenses, payments and revocations; none of which ‘makes’ anything or reduces any burdens on commerce, but all of which is Necessary For The Public Good.

I’d write more but it’s time for my break. Take a number. I’ll get to you in a minute.

And it’s biggest job of course – perpetuated self.
