"Experts are hired to raise money, experts are hired to spend money, experts are hired to carry out policy. In some ways, the politicians are just the announcers anymore." **********************************
Hmmm.
This sounds like the description of a classic technocracy: all experts all the time, with democratic formalities and lip service paid to 'traditional values' as a technique of manipulation.
Sadly, our rust-bucket of a technocracy lacks the robot butlers, pinwheel space stations, icily reasoning AIs, flying cars and natty turtleneck suits promised to previous generations and offers instead Internet pr0n, globalized un or underemployement and reality shows set in tourist traps.
Which is a shame really because if I'm going to be led to hell by 'experts' I should at least have a heuristically friendly robot butler to keep the house clean while I rant.
