Excellent @theatlantic.com story on NIH and here it is: "what if the halt was continuing, not because the agency was adhering to the president’s executive orders, but because it was pursuing a new agenda..Such shifts take time.. the agency couldn’t continue its work until it had reoriented itself."

I guess Nate Hagens would say that the reason here is "The Great Simplification" due to the exhaustion (and thus growing costs of mining) of energy resources (per person). A complex structure like a highly sophisticated gothernment with checks/balances needs lots of energy

A key feature of 20th/21st century autocratic regimes is the constant use of "will of the people" type rhetoric to justify authoritarian action. "People's Republic" and so on. A staple of Nazi Germany slogans as well. In prior centuries, they used the "will of God" to justify themselves
