    Bureaucrats work in the Coast Guard, patrolling & running our national parks, enforcing our borders, keeping the Presidential & former-Presidential families safe, act as scientists at the NIH/NASA/USGS/AWS, handle advanced IT tasks for all federal agencies, perform safety inspections for the USDA & OSHA, work in the field for FEMA during natural disasters, and so forth?
