A lot of local government are not strictly bureaucrats but are people providing services.


Bureaucracy services, mostly.


Teaching? Libraries? Rubbish collection? Street cleaning? Public health? Social care; adult social services, child protection social services?

Most of that isn't what people think when they hear bureaucracy.


All those services are surrounded by huge bureaucratic machines. As is any private company who wishes to make business.


you left out the most important..national defense...oh sorry, most of the EU dumped that on the US so it could afford all these social programs!
