kind of amazing that a government funded entity full of lifer bureaucrats proved to be incompetent, against all odds, but here we arehttps://twitter.com/ClaireBerlinski/status/1268158642987163654 …

Same thing worked very competently in lots of other countries so I'm not sure what your point is.

if I lived in a small, high trust, fairly homogeneous country like Denmark, I might have a different view of government however, I live in the United States. 330 million people who hate each other with an unaccountable incompetent government ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fair. So it's incompetent because it's happens to be incompetent, not because it's government funded... What alternative approach could you have seen work better in the US?

> So it's incompetent because it's happens to be incompetent, not because it's government funded... Not quite. It's incompetent bc it's government funded in a very large diverse country. Private things work well as do government things in small, high conscientious countries

Japan did well as well and is 40% the population of the US. I don't think it's about size. But homogeneity? Perhaps.

High IQ, ultra high conscientiousness, highly homogenous.
@patio11 has some great essays on what it's like in Japan. I'd find the culture half amazing, half stultifying.
Ferment, history of rebellion, high diversity, high social freedom have both pros and cons.
