One thing not discussed: the bureaucracy of the US government is run by unmarried men and women.
When a young person goes to DC, finally meets someone and has children, they can’t afford to live in DC, the commute from outside the city become onerous so to avoid divorce they move to other cities and take different jobs.
However gay men and career women- don’t have the constraints of marriage and children. So they stay in DC, earn high income and continue to get promoted.
So the upper levels of the bureaucracy they are disproportionately represented. These are the staffers and upper level management that essentially run the US system.
When they leave government they also go into trade organizations- and become lobbiests. It has a profound impact on the point of view of the bureaucracy.
