    This trend is happening in more than software. The shortage of masks and other PPE is also being solved mostly by, and with donations from, people in the private sector (and in fact tech companies specifically).https://www.axios.com/coronavirus-big-tech-action-95ccfc44-3756-4b5b-a6fc-745c05ef1b5c.html …

        I favor small government, but not so small that it can't respond to a pandemic. Dealing with pandemics is exactly the sort of thing a good federal government should be able to do.

        Make no mistake though. Technical competence should not be mistaken for an ability to solve social problems with cultural antecedents. Tech may need to reckon with the fact that it cannot solve problems with cultural or historical antecedents. We need to specialize.

        Do you think if serving in government carried the prestige and pride that once existed,we would see more tech professionals entering the space without the need for a pandemic?

        America should not rely on donations from wealthy, they need to be taxed fairly to begin with, to contribute to a basic healthcare and social services, which is clearly lacking. It’s what you voted for if you voted Republican. Mind you, inequality accelerated under Obama too.pic.twitter.com/GHnicaGHEX

        Hi I think what you said is interesting. However, I’m curious how would tech ceo deal with international issues.

        Those donations often come down to outbidding other governments for existing supplies though. Only increased production contributes.
