Isn't that basically what every modern government is regardless of dictatorship vs democracy?

Priority #1 seems to be defending state moneymaking interests and state adjacent/intertwined BigCos

Priority #2 seems to be expanding their own power

Priority #3 seems to be micromanaging in social issues at the behest of various special interests to distract from #1 and #2

Keeping us all from keeling over from heavy metal poisoning or whatever is way, way, way down the list unless it bleeds up to #3 for whatever reason.
