Having worked in the public sector, I can confirm it operates as a mafia. A giant holding pen for mediocre people with mediocre degrees to wear suits and create work for each other so they can steal an ever larger chunk of taxpayers' hard-earned money. Of course they spent £180 million deciding not to build a road tunnel. When I worked in public sector management consultancy, we were tasked with finding efficiencies in the IT department of a large government agency. One man we spoke to had two laptops on his desk. He said one was for forex trading and the other one was to monitor his chicken farm in Ghana. There was no shame as he told us this, no realisation that he was actually being employed to do a job that didn't involve forex trading or managing a chicken farm in Ghana. We were struck by the number of people sitting around doing nothing, even for a public sector organisation. Then we discovered that the man running the IT department also owned an IT recruitment consultancy. Every man he hired into this IT department from his recruitment consultancy put money in his own pocket. So there was a huge incentive for him to just hire as many men as possible to get as rich as possible. Never mind being prosecuted over this - I don't think he actually lost his job. And there's an incentive in the rest of the public sector to hire as many people as possible because the more people you manage, the more important you are, the bigger budget you get, and the greater your salary. (On the plus side, as a management consultant, finding efficiencies in the public sector is a piece of piss.) When you hear about public sector investment, this is money taken from the real economy and given to people to produce very little. This isn't "investment" any more than a bank "invests" in bank robbers. It's not done to make a profit. It holds the real economy back, not just in terms of the tax burden, but also in the huge numbers of workers tied up in this false, public sector Potemkin economy. Those workers should be in the real economy producing something of value. Britain could be a paradise. We could all be rich. There's no need for mass immigration. The workers we need are already here doing nothing, on benefits or in the public sector. We just need to fire everyone in the public sector and scrap all benefits.

All of our crises (energy, housing, fertility, aging, pensions, immigration, emigration, political Islam, economic stagnation, being an overly service oriented economy, institutional rot, sickness & mental health, Russia, America, Schism in the CoE …. ) were telegraphed decades ago. However it was/is impolitic to do anything about them so here we are.

Yeah, so basically the current prevailing schizo internet theory is that AI nerds have destroyed the internet and created infinite spam. The advertisement goons are now incapable of determining who is a bot and who is an actual human. The advertisement goons no longer want to pay as much to social media networks. Social media networks, in full blown panic of losing potential revenue, decided to lobby governments saying "we gotta protect the kids! ID everyone to protect the kids from pedophiles!". The social media networks know this doesn't really protect kids. But, it does two things (and a third accidentally). 1. They now can identify who is human and who is AI slop machine, or enough to appease the advertisement goons 2. Advertising to children is a general no-no from politicians, or something, so with ID verification they can say with confidence they're not advertising to children because it's been ID verification. Basically, they can weed out the children and focus on advertising to adults 3. The feds can now tell who is human and who is AI slop. This inadvertently helps them with tracking people and serving fresh daily dumps of propaganda, or whatever they want to do. It's a win-win-win for advertisers, social media networks, the government, and any business which does data collections. It fucks over everyone else. Chat, I'm not going to lie to you. This is an extremely good conspiracy schizo theory and I unironically believe it.
