    When was the last time you heard about a large government computer outage? (I don’t count the VA because that’s broken on purpose.)

      Launch of ACA markets? But that seemed more like the company paid to make it under sized it or just did shit code.

      Which goes back to somethings shouldn’t be done for profit

        Government’s also shouldn’t be incentivised to always go with the cheapest option during procurements and tenders. Price is not the only factor in a value calculation and it is insane that we just ignore that fact.
