Government Clerk Android
Even in the Epochian era, these variants of clerical models are always sticklers for rules and regulations, and if confronted with a query or task that is even remotely outside their area of expertise or perceived department, they will direct the inquirer to another person or facility, or require the person asking to fill out a non-existent form or supply some sort of government identification.

@jonny It seems like old-fashioned training and administrative manuals should be able to form the basis of an organizational wiki, although editing documents at those levels would have to be more restricted or more hierarchical than on #Wikipedia. Does Word or anything similar have templates for creating wiki articles? #Wikipedian #Bureaucrat

When dealing with an unhelpful #grift of a #bureaucrat, there are multiple ways one can express #dissatisfaction:

a) by saying what they are proposing would be considered by any reasonable person to be ridiculous,
b) by telling them to drop dead (nuclear option — not recommended),
c) expressing hope that they got the real formula and not the placebo.

One lobbyist will never have all the private keys and confidence of all the fediverse, that's really the #specialSauce of it. In fact, it would be a blessing in disguise if a #lobbyist or ivory-tower #bureaucrat decided that Fedi needed to have an "open source" #uploadFilter, and to a #backdoor to remain legal - because we're waiting for the moment Fedi goes full #I2P, and #meshNet *wink*

The only time #climateChange sounds like a hoax is when you some #bureaucrat waxes lyrical about how a #massMigration could be an economic boom for countries like #Australia with an older population. So long as they can assimilate with much (re)education and access to resources/energy/infrastructures upon arrival.

Ugh. Same #neoliberal tropes.

It leaves one thinking whether cc is the next iteration in some "#refugee production schedule". Similar to the past 60 years of popularised wars.
