A few years ago, I explained to friend the German concept of "Vorauseilender Gehorsam", roughly translated as "anticipatory obedience".
It describes the property of civil service to implement policies before they have to.
I said that this term had a very bad connotation in Germany. My friend did not understand, thinking this was a good thing making Germany so efficient.
It is so sad to see the US civil service now acting exactly this way. No, it is not a good thing. #uspol
