Other than minor kudos for trying to create a German worthy compound word - disincentivize - if there are so many qualified people just dying to serve, why is it that divesting assets is such a burden? And if you don't like paperwork, you do not want to work in government. Even if everything was streamlined to an ideal, there would still be paperwork, and oversight, and ETHICS.
I think what you mean is there are a lot of people who'd like to leverage a juicy government appointment for their own personal gain, now or later, without any of those pesky rules, or laws, or restrictions on their behavior and venality.

In my experience, disincentivize is a normal, common word. Does it even count as compound?
ReplyDeleteFine, no kudos. It's a total wonk word, though. Meanwhile, they're all still weasels.
