Why wouldn’t they?

Name a government or public sector institution that lost power during covid. It’s tough to do.

I honestly think: "Nearly all of them."

We've seen some significant exercise of power, but the underlying legitimacy that gives rise to power is severely eroded. So I am not at all sure that the various institutions have come out of this ahead.

Only in their unification against Russia have I seen an increase in organizational capacity.
