Well the DEA needs to justify their salaries somehow, even though they do more harm than good generally

I feel like hundreds of government organizations constantly scheming something, in part to justify their existence, is not a good use of taxpayer money or human effort in general.

No they don't though. In neurotypical brains you get the impression that you're getting a productivity boost but you're not.
