Sounds like they're looking after their own and trying to find ways to
keep their jobs and upgrade their salary packages.

Of course, saving your arse comes first in line, as always. Now if you
earn a warm and cozy $200K per year, your arse is certainly worth it's
saving.

"When we create useless laws, we create useless jobs, and then we need
useless public servants to fill in the positions and thence these
useless public servants want to create more useless laws and so the
vicious cycle of self-serving bureaucracy continues pretty much the same
way money makes more money. It just gets bigger and bigger at a rate
that just gets faster and faster. Where do you stop? Complete
dictatorship would appear to be the only end."

Cheers,
Benjamin.
