The disdain I can personally speak to is with the system that creates job programs funded by my taxpayer dollars instead of using said dollars for effective governance. I have lived experience, lots of it, with people who are living stereotypes of government employees, whose entire work product serves to sustain a self-perpetuating bureaucracy and who contribute very little to the statutory mission of their employer. So do many other people.

I don't blame those employees for thriving in the environment that was created for them. I don't wish them any ill. But I don't think I need to fund that kind of systemic dysfunction anymore.
