Large organizations acting to preserve themselves above all else is why we can't have universal health care or simplified & automated income taxes and why university tuition keeps going up even though education quality and faculty salaries are stagnant. (Also why the requirements for finishing a graduate degree and getting tenure and promotions don't incentivize good educational ability.)
