Some People Are Hired to Hector You

 Never thought of it this way, but it's true.

... Hectoring is, of course, an employment opportunity for bureaucrats. One can well imagine how much good they think they are doing by reminding people to beware of slippery floors when it rains and to bring an umbrella, to keep hydrated in hot weather, to wrap up warm in cold, to arrive in good time to catch their train without having to hurry, not to be abusive or use racist language. ...

And he didn't mention the Glorious HectorFest of Covid19!

How much money is wasted by hiring these nagging twits?

He’s right. This is what the people wanted, yet the bureaucrats under Trump in particular put our lives in jeopardy.

Actually, Obama and Biden were the principal perps here. But you knew that.

It also unequivocally includes Trump, who is the current President. But you already know that.
