I started a new job last year here in Canada where part of my duties involve handling certain regulatory issues for our US branches. I've been doing work like this for 10+ years domestically. But holy cow, the rent-seeking American bureaucracies are driving me crazy. No wonder a certain group of Americans distrusts the entire concept of government. The only ones they've ever known, typically via privatised rent-seeking bureacracies, are all trying to soak them.
There is no institution in America whose primary aim isn’t to shake every last cent out of your pockets

Any American who trusts the government is a certified grade a nincompoop
