There are two trends in government over the past 30 years that have collided to cause a never-ending series of high-profile failures:

1. Outsourcing anything technology-related, regarding tech as outside of government’s core competencies (or even government’s proper role).
2. Relying on technology to accomplish nearly all agency goals and intermediating interactions with the public through software.

Can you identify the problem here?

@JIMNOBU @waldoj @anildash and

- any part of government and semi-government should exclusively bank there and only payout to someone's account there

- and USPS should provide broadband internet (fiber), USPS is the only party with a mandate and obligation to reach everyone. Call them postal routes to make it easier to put them in the ground, it worked for the interstate
