It's effectively the privatization of public services so realistically not politically feasible but could work with USPS. My grandpa mostly raised me. He was a delivery man for 35+ years. I have a special place in my heart for the USPS but the institution needs an upgrade.

From "user" perspective, yeah, amazon the fuck outta everything. I just got groceries delivered for free, competitive prices, <24 hours. But from world perspective, thats a lot of people not really being taken care of. If theres one thing the govt is good at is giving cushy jobs.

I know no one clicked that. Here. Actually skim it at least. It's bonkers. And it doesnt matter bc once youre in that world, you just hop state to state and department to department. 🤯

Whenever I see these $100m+ government contracts to build a front end for Drupal or whatever it blows my mind. It was probably farmed out to India for $50k and doesn't work anyway with the project being a total write-off/loss. WTF. Seen it so many times.

Yup. For $100m, any half decent tech startup could deliver an excellent product that every municipality in the entire nation could use. We'd pay for it once and we'd be done.

Is something like this developing in Puerto Rico now? You're right that these lower tax/overhead jurisdictions do come with a lot of potential because the residents aren't already forced to burn a lot of capital on monopoly government service providers.
