Not just DGAF
Pulling out a line from previous item.

I don't give a fuck about spending on security. If a governor wants to be secure or cruise around the world, that's just fine. He deserves to be secure and have fun.

This is actually more important than just DGAF. Natural Law, properly applied, makes a deal with monstrous universe-obliterating psychopaths like Inslee and Lutz and Woodward. They are allowed to indulge their hedonistic tastes to the max, as long as they use their power to serve the public. The deal is precisely detailed in the original Sharia form.

Decadent lazy potentates are too busy eating and screwing to spend much energy on ruination.

FDR made a similar deal with the Wall Street psychopaths. We don't care how rich you are, and we don't care how many servants and estates you have, PROVIDED you run your business in a way that doesn't cheat and kill workers or destroy other businesses.

The deal was canceled after FDR died, and now we're seeing the holocaustal result. The "good government" shit constantly clamps down on salaries and privileges and bribes for government officials, depriving them of the benign way to enjoy power. Simultaneously, Deepstate has opened up all the channels for malign uses of power through 75 years of fake emergencies and fake panics and "libertarian" innovative disruption.

This pattern of incentives guarantees that corporate and government officials will be ascetic skeletal pure perfectionist ideologues, relentlessly laser-focused on perfectly detailed and perfectly thorough murder and mayhem.

Later: There's a secondary factor at play. When everyone knows that the ruler is wildly dissipated, engaged in all sorts of vice, there's NO ROOM FOR BLACKMAIL. Consider Henry VIII. He must have weighed 500 pounds, ate everything in sight, constantly brought in new virgins, married them, then killed them. He started a new church to officially approve his dissipation. Absolutely no way for an Epstein type to honeytrap Henry into secret obedience. Instead, Henry did a pretty good job of serving real business and real workers. He created Trinity House, a mutual benefit association for sailors that cleaned up the Wreckers who had been running fake lighthouses to crash ships and steal the cargo. Modern politicians are expected to be skeletal ascetics, so their bad habits are instantly available to Epstein.
