Bureaucracy
The document discusses various aspects and myths of bureaucracy in the United States government. It provides examples of how bureaucracies impact daily life and ensure services like safe drinking water and food. Bureaucracies are often seen negatively but the document aims to dispel some common myths, such as that the government bureaucracy is always growing, most federal bureaucrats work in Washington D.C., and that bureaucracies are inherently inefficient.
Waterworks
The Panama Canal made international shipping much more efficient by allowing ships to travel between the East and West coasts of North America without having to go around South America. The French initially started work on the canal but ran out of money. It has since been expanded to accommodate larger ships. William Mulholland's Los Angeles aqueduct project brought water to LA, fueling its growth, but drained the Owens Valley of its water supply turning it into a desert. The aqueduct project helped develop LA but negatively impacted Owens Valley.

However, in 1779 a group of islanders on Hawaii killed Captain Cook and four marines, disemboweling and baking Cook's body as a sign of respect, showing the islanders were not as peaceful as initially presented.
