      Lobbyists selected by rich people tell politicians who to appoint to lead agencies. These people give directives and can get agents fired for disobeying.

      Stopping it means removing “single points of failures” like not having such a powerful hierarchy, in addition to accountability measures (independent inspections, etc)
