Politicians signalling their virtue, example 359,079
Governments have no equal when it comes to wasting tax dollars: France has a "Minister of State for Gender Equality."
Really? You couldn't roll that into a position slightly more applicable to every citizen?
Why yes, yes they could. But making a cabinet-level position solely for gender equality is such an excellent signal of the virtuousness of the pols who rammed it through.
I'm not picking on France here: Our own gruberment has at least a hundred positions with even less-useful job titles. But what the hell: It's only money.
Next you can expect a "Minister of State for Transgender Equality." Virtue-signal ranking 9.5.
