If the government instead had outsourced this system to a private contractor, who subsequently made the same mistake, would you still blame government?

- V-2 11y agoPossibly. Public procurement should always be under close scrutiny, as for who got the contract and why.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoUnfortunately, it's the same public scrutiny that makes public procurement not work in the first place. It prevents corrupt people choosing based on personal interest, but it also prevents people who know their stuff from cutting through marketing bullshit and buying a solution that works, instead of the cheapest one. I don't see a good solution.
