Florida is no different than anywhere else really. The only difference is they have sunshine laws where a full explanation of every police encounter is released online without people having to request it. It’s just really easy to find crazy police encounters which are pretty rare given the population size. You just scroll through the list online that the police upload. If something weird happens somewhere else you’d need to find out about it first hand to even know to request the full police report so it’s harder to stumble across other crazy stories.
@@enochsadventures That's all well and good, but you need to be prepared or you are going to endanger everyone's life that has to go out and try to save your life when it all goes bad. I get it, I am a sailor and offshore fishermen, but you also shouldn't take crazy uncalculated risks either. What he is trying to do is crazy. Maybe start out with a Florida to Bahamas trip, see if he can pull off the Bimini run before he tries to trans Atlantic. He needs a spotter boat too.

He was arrested for trying to accomplish his dreams. Teachers and parents are always telling you to be creative, but clearly society doesn’t want you to. What the hell, man?
Exactly. If he just took the proper channels and time to set it up, he could do it relatively safely, while making even more money for the charities. Make it a big event. I mean c'mon Redbull, fund this shit!
He definitely needs someone to accompany him like a small navigation boat that can also double as an emergency tug/rescue if his hamster ball breaks. I think the Coast Guard is concerned how little the guy seems to actually plan his transatlantic journey. If Oceangate taught us anything this year, it's that the ocean is much scarier than people realize.
He should do these things with a separate boat escorting him, making sure he's okay the whole trip. If he had that, I'm sure he could actually achieve what he's set out to do.
@@youtubeuser6725because it's fucking lethal lol. There are quite a few cases illustrating just how brutally easy it is for someone uneducated to get stranded on the ocean.
@@youtubeuser6725they would step in if he was a person trying to jump off a cliff. This is pretty much a similar situation but the person this time isn’t trying to die, just that dying is highly probable 😅
@@alteredego5793 The thing is, it's the bit that he's ARRESTED for it that gets me. If he's simply detained for his own safety, fine, but what the fuck grounds are they arresting him on, because they can easily torture someone who's suicidal with whatever they're doing to further punish him.
That's what I'm saying. It's easy money, can even make like a mini series out of it. Give him some way for them to monitor/communicate with him as he goes. No need to crush a man's dreams when you can easily help facilitate it instead and make a profit off of it. It can even help support his charities as well.
I hate to say this, but I kind of agree that there might be a way to makes this work. Maybe there could be like a boat or something that tags along with him, that can be right there on the spot with supplies & other stuff, in case anything goes awry, & simply move alongside him towards his destination.
I talked to Ray for a few hours when he was running through my city this year. Someone stole his phone, and I was trying to help him get it back. Dude is wild, but really is wholesome and nice. He was also just super excited about everything, and made my day at work.
As someone who’s 40 it’s been fun to watch the reputation of Florida shift. Back then I always thought of it as the place where old folks vacation/ move to die…and Disney… and spring break. Now it feels like spring break never ends and they scared all the grandparents to death. Fun times
It’s largely an illusion caused by Florida laws allowing all criminal records to be public domain. These wild incidents happen in other states, but we only hear about them in Florida. Although, I learned in a psychology course that increased crime is significantly correlated with warmer weather, so perhaps they really do proportionally have more crazy crimes overall than more northern states.
In case anyone is wondering, "manifestly unsafe voyage" means that the Coast Guard has decided that a seafaring vessel is an unacceptable danger to its occupants, and they therefore have the legal authority to order everyone off
We need to give this guy a chance to actually do this, but in a controlled and safe manner with support boats and all that. Do something easy, like Key West to Cuba, let him find out how difficult even that is, and maybe he'll have enough. Or it will fuel it even worse, in which case maybe get sponsors and keep doing it the safe way
thats what I dont get if he's spening 100k+ on bubble stuff cant he like save up a bit more and hire a boat to follow him safely. I guess that would be a little too safe for a florida man.
This story reminds me of the Japanese “balloon man” because he also wanted to cross the ocean, and didn’t want anyone to save his life. In reality he had a lot of financial problems and it’s speculated he went to die in the ocean (he was never found), so I wonder if this is the same situation since he threatened his own life.
@@ex8800I mean, that would actually make it more likely, if it's financial. Your loved ones don't get life insurance payouts for suicide. This isn't technically suicide.
@@ex8800?? you can be married with children and have money and a lot of things other people would like etc etc... and still want to commit suicide. idk about florida hamster guy in particular i'm talking in general ofc
@@SisselSashaYes, the mind is just weird like that. Mental illnesses are no joke, especially with most people's tendencies of having irrational pessimism. Edit: nevermind about this guy, he's apparently been attempting this for years but with different contraptions. He's just a man trying to fulfill his dream, and we should all respect that.
I went on a couple dates once with an out-of-stater, a floridian man. I brought up the "florida man" phenomenon to him once and he explained to me that he genuinely didn't know what that concept was and had never heard of it. I am still trying to figure out whether I'm just chronically online and not everyone with internet access knows of the infamous florida man, or if he himself was an infamous florida man simply by being so blissfully unaware
To be fair the only reason the Florida Man phenomenon is a thing is because they have some freedom of information laws that let people access info on your crimes more readily, so if you commit a weird crime in most other places it won't end up in a newspaper but if someone in Florida tries to burn down a house with pasta sauce everybody gets to know about it. Florida could be a totally normal place to the people living there.

I don't know I guess I just don't understand racism because your comment is f****** utterly disgusting. Yeah go check out Kensington let us know how you like it over there.
Charlie: "This guy is super wholesome, he just has an obsession with crossing the ocean." Also Charlie: *reads an article about how the guy threatened he was going to kill himself if the authorities interferred and that he had a bomb.*
In a world full of people pulling the worst pranks for attention, it's refreshing to see someone doing what no sane person would ever think is okay to do for passion instead of clout.
Days? Honestly if he somehow did it, would likely take a year to do...dunno if it's possible even since there really isn't any type of actual propulsion that would work to take him where he wants to go. He goes where the Waves take him and thinks he's in control of it.
@@justinlast2lastharder749 Normally when people row across the Atlantic it takes 2 months. Now rowing would be a bit faster than the bubble, but I'd say he could do it in 4 - 5 months.
Which is funny because they aren't really that different than people in other states, it's just that Florida laws makes it so we hear about the weirdos that can be found anywhere
I knew it right away when I heard the story. This guy is a legend. At this point they should let him do it for charity and watch him the whole time with ships so it’s safe
Either that, or have him be in contact with people on land with a nav system that shows where he's at, even ppl who paddled across the atlantic did that...
@@crispy_bearjuice456 damn if that’s the case I could care less what happens to him he could have followed his dreams and made it semi safe but now he’s gonna pull this cat and mouse bs with the local police till he passes away.
@@crispy_bearjuice456 yeah as much as I like the thought of people following their dreams he’s really just selfishly risking people’s lives and wasting peoples time, they are obligated to go out and save him everytime he pulls this because that’s their job. I think it would be cool if he could have set it up in a safe way with the proper people but insisting on going out there by himself is beyond stupid they should just let him drift out to sea with his 3 days of food in direct sunlight with no navigation and not knowing where it will take him like he wants.
I've seen this guy before, he's tried running out into the ocean in some type of bubble (he ended up getting fried by the sun in that one), ball, or tube for years, he always ends up needing to be rescued. TV shows have featured him and there's probably a bunch of interviews on UA-cam. Despite being a capable long distance runner I am quite sure if he wasn't stopped by the Coast Guard he would be dead. The Coast Guard has said he would be allowed to attempt his cross ocean journeys so long as he was accompanied by a support boat. He's refused but likely it's due to funding as he's by no means a wealthy man (and he's using up most of his earnings building these contraptions).
@@LexKapatos-hc3di What other people have said about him having this dream is true. An interesting consideration is at what point does a dream/obsession like this turn into a form of mania or mental illness. Obviously these journeys are not safe and this gentleman is aware the Coast Guard will stop him, and yet he spends most of his money from working odd jobs (from working multiple jobs as a cook to working 2 years on a crab boat) building these craft. Conversely the state of Florida continues to allow him to register his creations as "watercraft" which probably convinces him he's as free to head for the open ocean as someone in a 100 foot yacht. He is originally from Iran, and if what I've heard is to be believed, spent several years in jail there for living contrary to the religious law there (suffering torture while in jail). Successfully fleeing that situation, making it to the US, and being granted asylum might also influence his like, uhhh concept of what it means to be a citizen of the world? I feel like maybe they should just let him have a go at it and get it out of his system but at the same time, I have no doubt he would die on the journey or would probably need another costly rescue. He probably just needs a GoFundMe to pay for a proper and safe expedition that the authorities would be fine with tbh but I'm not sure if they'd even let him have another go, with the judge this time forbidding him from getting near the ocean (tough to enforce in some parts of Florida though).
Agreed. It's fucking ridiculous to keep 'saving' someone that doesn't want to be saved. Like, people might love him and care for him, but if he wants to die, fucking let him. He's a grown ass man that can make his own decisions.
@@happydragon7095 sounds to me that they were genuinely scared he was going to actually make it to another country in a manner that isn't in line with traditional means of travel. Basically if the TSA isn't involved, they don't like you leaving us soil. i say let him go wherever he wants, but if he lands on foreign soil, let their authorities deal with him, not America's.
@@happydragon7095 Nope. This guy isn't sane and isn't safe. He even claimed to have a bomb on board. There's a reason for legal transportation across border. He also claims to be doing this to raise money for the coast guard, while continuing to waste their resources with this nonsense. Don't be so easily pursuaded by random UA-cam commenter's weird conspiracies. Just look it up.
Tbh I really like this dedication, he really is like a hamster but on water. Nothing stops him, no exhaustion, no dehydration no hunger he runs. When we don't stop him he will be the next man on the moon, achieved with only his bubble and his will to run
There is a guy who swam around all of the UK. This guy just needs to get a sponsor from Red Bull or something to make it a controlled event where they make sure he doesn't die
As a florida man, i never realised we were seen as crazy until i left florida for the first time. Growing up in Florida , you don't think of the madness you see as being outrageous, as its just all you see. Not until i visited europe and the UK, i realised we were something special. Even today, other people seem i dont know, too restricted. We're not crazy, we are just not afraid to be our truest selves and have no fear of judgemental people.

Just watched a video of a Florida man in a unicorn floatie being dragged out to sea by a shark on his fishing rod, dude not only didn't give up, but casually got picked up by some fishermen and finished the fight. What a lad.
I dont understand why he's being arrested for this. He may not have a clue when it comes to navigation or sailing but if the man wants to run across the ocean in a bubble then let him run across the ocean or die trying.
Our society has deemed we can’t let people win the Darwin award without trying to stop them. But according to Charlie’s stream clips, he was arrested for resisting police when they told him to leave the bubble, and also probably bc he made threats there was a bomb in the bubble. Also people can be arrested for wasting public resources through unnecessary risk, which this seems to qualify for.
@odotawaissaku3755 Yeah, even though he says it jokingly and sarcastically it really is true. We're so supervised by a nanny state that we can't even be allowed to do things that could harm us
This is a man who knows his purpose and is willing to die for it if it fulfills him, in this age of satellite discovery he found a sliver of adventure in this bought out world and wants to live by it. Seems to me no one should havethe right to stop him. Endorse creative individuality in seeking your purpose, live like this guy.
I completely agree. Why was he stopped? Let people do wtf they wanna do if it's not directly harming anyone. He's not robbing anyone, not raping anyone, and not releasing anyone from their mortal coil, so what's the big deal?
And that is 100% completely his right. What, are you gonna stop people skiing and mountain climbing next? Hiking? Motor derbies? Plenty of things can kill you and it's no one's right to stop completely willing and full-grown adults from making their own decisions as equal free human beings.@@LordTurg323
@@GizzyDillespee From what we can see here he seems reasonable enough aside from this specific fixation. Nobody said monetize either, idrc if this is a net negative money wise, but to do it safely there's gonna need to be some money to get it started.
so they wont let this guy only endanger himself, but they will allow a makeshift sub made from a scrap heap carry paying customers to the bottom of the ocean. 10/10 logic

If the apocalypse ever happens, either go to or stay away from Florida, because they’ll either be really good at fending off zombies, or they’ll be the most powerful of them
It sounds like he's conscious he'd probably die doing it, so just let him! If he succeeds that would be such a fantastic achievement! I hope someone, perhaps redbull comes by and sponsors him, and upgrades his bubble and provides 24/7 advice and safety, so that he can actually complete this terrific mission!
I am reminded of that penguin documentary where occasionally penguins just get an urge to wander into the wasteland alone to certain death. And picking them up and putting them back into the colony will only result in the penguon setting out relentlessly.
@@Vespyr_ Nobody said corporation, and innovation doesn't have to be suicide. Anyway, I'd be curious to see that, one of my first thoughts was that they could just follow him on a ship close by. I kinda hope he gets to do this if he wants to so badly, I just hope it's not as costly as it seems it's going to be if he keeps going at it like this.
@@Zarkarin The point is that a man should be free to fund his own future. This has nothing to do with keeping him safe. That it suddenly becomes possible at the behest of a corporate sponsor, speaks volumes on what we truly care about.
@Vespyr_ he needs like, a crew of 3. It doesnt need to be a big sponsored deal, just enough to have someone who can direct a boat, keep on course, and provide rations and potentially pull him out if he needs medical attention. This entire thing could be afforded by 1 fairly weathly person or a crowdfunding thing. It just seems that he doesnt have the funds/ knowledge on how to go about setting up an expedition like this safely. Its just literally not safe for one guy to float in the middle of the atlantic in a bubble without food or a compass my dude. "Man isnt an island" and all that. He just needs a little helping hand.
@@Vespyr_ What point are you trying to make? I'm sorry the average person doesn't have like $250k to burn? If he could afford it sure but that's not a reasonable thing to expect and again nobody except you said corporate.
Actually extremely fascinating. This brings up so many questions. What qualifies as walking on water? Does he want to traverse the ocean or does it have to be on top of the water? Does walking mean no propulsion? I guess what he’s been doing is basically the same as floating around on a raft, but i like the original idea. Maybe if the orb had paddles on it so it could steer or something this works, but otherwise I’d wanna hear his own opinion.
Maybe as a marathon runner his goal is actually being the first man to run the circumference of the globe. Or across a sea. If the walking it the point, maybe a pressurized suit that has an thick air tube leading to a boat at the top to feed air and supplies. Then he can walk the ocean floor and fulfill his dreams. And of course the helmet pov footage would be great for marine scientists. I think if he mapped out a route flat enough to walk, and talked to the right people, this could be a scientific breakthrough. But his hearts in the right place ig.
Someone start a fundraiser for this man so he can get an approved vehicle made by engineers Then we'd have the man that ran across the ocean. Mf should get some kind of award and that shit should be on a book somewhere.
“an approved vehicle” Freedom literally does not exist when the freest of the United States bars an adult individual from sailing to sea by himself in his private vessel because it’s dangerous and unapproved, as if some bureaucrat “expert” somewhere needs to be consulted and sign off before a man be allowed to sail using his own vessel. Like wtf?! In DeSantis’s words, “the free state of Florida” ain’t so free after all.
They should do the way Brazil did: There was a priest that wanted to travel from one state to the other closest state (it would be like 500 miles of distance) tied to balloons ,nobody stopped him (there was even tv channels filming it) ,he flew, time passed as people waited,waited and he never appeared, they searched for a long time and found nothing till they went "it is what it is". Months later what was left of his body was fount at the coast of the sea ,in a complete different state(wasn't even on the way of where his objective was) it was like almost 900 MILES of distance of where he wanted to land.
With a support ship as a guide I don't see why he couldn't pull off something he might have to make exceptions like stopping and hitching to the support ship for resting and sleep but with the right precautions and support I believe he could cross from England to France across the channel people swim it all the time.
@@GizzyDillespeeExactly. There was a guy who went across from Africa to South America using the trade winds but idk how anyone would get across the Northern Atlantic to Europe like that lol
He really thought he can go to a locked city using this technique, while we all know by now that getting to a locked city without actually progressing the story missions to unlock it first will get you a 5 stars wanted.
I mean, he could've just brought a map, a compass, packaged food/snacks and bottles of water with him. Done, life saved, and he gets to accomplish his dreams
I mean he could pack a whole months worth of water and food but it run out with him not getting even a kilometre or something out in open water before the currents make him run in circles...
The government bureaucrats just got pissed off that he didn’t consult some pencil-pusher “expert” about licensing his private vessel prior to taking to the sea. None of us know whether his dangerous stunt would work or not. It’s certainly not impossible when people have sailed from Vietnam and Cuba to America on rickety wood makeshift rowboats. The classic narcissistic government impulse to regulate everything and make anything unregulated criminal is nauseating. He proved one thing: Freedom does not exist in the world if “the free state of Florida” (according to the governor) bars an adult individual from sailing to sea in his private vessel just because it’s dangerous and unapproved by bureaucrats.
This would be a good opportunity for someone that has a big boat with food and water to follow behind him so he’s safe and stream it or something. Would get a lot of attention for someone. Or a company like Red Bull or monster to sponsor him.
He has no rules. No boundaries. He doesn’t flinch at torture, human trafficking, or genocide. He’s not loyal to a flag or country or any set of ideals.

As someone who’s 40 it’s been fun to watch the reputation of Florida shift.
Back then I always thought of it as the place where old folks vacation/ move to die…and Disney… and spring break.
Now it feels like spring break never ends and they scared all the grandparents to death.
Fun times
It’s largely an illusion caused by Florida laws allowing all criminal records to be public domain. These wild incidents happen in other states, but we only hear about them in Florida. Although, I learned in a psychology course that increased crime is significantly correlated with warmer weather, so perhaps they really do proportionally have more crazy crimes overall than more northern states.
Right I'm a bit younger but it totally used to be Disney/retirement land now it's like an online game server
@@Mikeygamer1 I go to Miami fairly often and it really is just God's personal GTA server

This story reminds me of the Japanese “balloon man” because he also wanted to cross the ocean, and didn’t want anyone to save his life.

I went on a couple dates once with an out-of-stater, a floridian man. I brought up the "florida man" phenomenon to him once and he explained to me that he genuinely didn't know what that concept was and had never heard of it. I am still trying to figure out whether I'm just chronically online and not everyone with internet access knows of the infamous florida man, or if he himself was an infamous florida man simply by being so blissfully unaware
To be fair the only reason the Florida Man phenomenon is a thing is because they have some freedom of information laws that let people access info on your crimes more readily, so if you commit a weird crime in most other places it won't end up in a newspaper but if someone in Florida tries to burn down a house with pasta sauce everybody gets to know about it. Florida could be a totally normal place to the people living there.
The funny thing is when I (not from the US) first heard the phrase "Florida man" a year or so ago I already guessed exactly what it meant.

In a world full of people pulling the worst pranks for attention, it's refreshing to see someone doing what no sane person would ever think is okay to do for passion instead of clout.
At least he’s not hurting anyone but himself. Which also isn’t a good thing actually
You know in the early 1900s this guy's dedication and drive would have landed him as a local town inventor award
I actually wanna see him do this with the right support crew, food, and water for the days he’d be running on that wheel.
Days? Honestly if he somehow did it, would likely take a year to do...dunno if it's possible even since there really isn't any type of actual propulsion that would work to take him where he wants to go. He goes where the Waves take him and thinks he's in control of it.

@@crispy_bearjuice456 yeah as much as I like the thought of people following their dreams he’s really just selfishly risking people’s lives and wasting peoples time, they are obligated to go out and save him everytime he pulls this because that’s their job.

I've seen this guy before, he's tried running out into the ocean in some type of bubble (he ended up getting fried by the sun in that one), ball, or tube for years, he always ends up needing to be rescued. TV shows have featured him and there's probably a bunch of interviews on UA-cam. Despite being a capable long distance runner I am quite sure if he wasn't stopped by the Coast Guard he would be dead. The Coast Guard has said he would be allowed to attempt his cross ocean journeys so long as he was accompanied by a support boat. He's refused but likely it's due to funding as he's by no means a wealthy man (and he's using up most of his earnings building these contraptions).
Is he super mentally ill or what?
@LexKapatos-hc3di nah he just has a dream to do what no man has done before
@@LexKapatos-hc3di I think its something he always wanted , some people never say anything all their lives
@@LexKapatos-hc3di What other people have said about him having this dream is true. An interesting consideration is at what point does a dream/obsession like this turn into a form of mania or mental illness. Obviously these journeys are not safe and this gentleman is aware the Coast Guard will stop him, and yet he spends most of his money from working odd jobs (from working multiple jobs as a cook to working 2 years on a crab boat) building these craft. Conversely the state of Florida continues to allow him to register his creations as "watercraft" which probably convinces him he's as free to head for the open ocean as someone in a 100 foot yacht. He is originally from Iran, and if what I've heard is to be believed, spent several years in jail there for living contrary to the religious law there (suffering torture while in jail). Successfully fleeing that situation, making it to the US, and being granted asylum might also influence his like, uhhh concept of what it means to be a citizen of the world? I feel like maybe they should just let him have a go at it and get it out of his system but at the same time, I have no doubt he would die on the journey or would probably need another costly rescue. He probably just needs a GoFundMe to pay for a proper and safe expedition that the authorities would be fine with tbh but I'm not sure if they'd even let him have another go, with the judge this time forbidding him from getting near the ocean (tough to enforce in some parts of Florida though).
We need to allow this man to live, or die, his dream.
Agreed. It's fucking ridiculous to keep 'saving' someone that doesn't want to be saved. Like, people might love him and care for him, but if he wants to die, fucking let him. He's a grown ass man that can make his own decisions.

He knows.
I dont understand why he's being arrested for this. He may not have a clue when it comes to navigation or sailing but if the man wants to run across the ocean in a bubble then let him run across the ocean or die trying.
Our society has deemed we can’t let people win the Darwin award without trying to stop them.
But according to Charlie’s stream clips, he was arrested for resisting police when they told him to leave the bubble, and also probably bc he made threats there was a bomb in the bubble.
Also people can be arrested for wasting public resources through unnecessary risk, which this seems to qualify for.

He needs someone to sponsor and support him on the run in an assistant boat to help him accomplish this.

@@Vespyr_ Nobody said corporation, and innovation doesn't have to be suicide.
Anyway, I'd be curious to see that, one of my first thoughts was that they could just follow him on a ship close by. I kinda hope he gets to do this if he wants to so badly, I just hope it's not as costly as it seems it's going to be if he keeps going at it like this.
@@Zarkarin The point is that a man should be free to fund his own future. This has nothing to do with keeping him safe. That it suddenly becomes possible at the behest of a corporate sponsor, speaks volumes on what we truly care about.
@Vespyr_ he needs like, a crew of 3. It doesnt need to be a big sponsored deal, just enough to have someone who can direct a boat, keep on course, and provide rations and potentially pull him out if he needs medical attention.
This entire thing could be afforded by 1 fairly weathly person or a crowdfunding thing. It just seems that he doesnt have the funds/ knowledge on how to go about setting up an expedition like this safely.
Its just literally not safe for one guy to float in the middle of the atlantic in a bubble without food or a compass my dude. "Man isnt an island" and all that. He just needs a little helping hand.
@@Vespyr_ What point are you trying to make? I'm sorry the average person doesn't have like $250k to burn? If he could afford it sure but that's not a reasonable thing to expect and again nobody except you said corporate.
I actually support this man. This is awesome and we need to do everything we can to make his dream come true
i feel like we should tell this man about the unicycle. he seems like the type to be into that. maybe it would keep him on land
Actually extremely fascinating. This brings up so many questions. What qualifies as walking on water? Does he want to traverse the ocean or does it have to be on top of the water? Does walking mean no propulsion? I guess what he’s been doing is basically the same as floating around on a raft, but i like the original idea. Maybe if the orb had paddles on it so it could steer or something this works, but otherwise I’d wanna hear his own opinion.
Maybe as a marathon runner his goal is actually being the first man to run the circumference of the globe. Or across a sea. If the walking it the point, maybe a pressurized suit that has an thick air tube leading to a boat at the top to feed air and supplies. Then he can walk the ocean floor and fulfill his dreams. And of course the helmet pov footage would be great for marine scientists. I think if he mapped out a route flat enough to walk, and talked to the right people, this could be a scientific breakthrough. But his hearts in the right place ig.
I love how his repeated efforts to raise money for the coastguard have cost them so much money.

bro thats not going to save him, he's in a fucking plastic ball
The government bureaucrats just got pissed off that he didn’t consult some pencil-pusher “expert” about licensing his private vessel prior to taking to the sea. None of us know whether his dangerous stunt would work or not. It’s certainly not impossible when people have sailed from Vietnam and Cuba to America on rickety wood makeshift rowboats. The classic narcissistic government impulse to regulate everything and make anything unregulated criminal is nauseating. He proved one thing: Freedom does not exist in the world if “the free state of Florida” (according to the governor) bars an adult individual from sailing to sea in his private vessel just because it’s dangerous and unapproved by bureaucrats.
