>a simple and cheap plan that is politically impossible.
If it's impossible to execute the cheap and simple plan because of political obstacles, we just have to change politics. It's also simple and cheap once you know that money has nothing to do in politics.

- spdionis 8y agoJust offering a thought-provoking POV here: Do you work in IT? As far as I could see the hardest problems in technology are not actually technical, but organizational/political/management problems. Politics is just management at a different scale. We shouldn't underestimate the complexity of societal problems. They may be harder to solve than the hardest technical challenges. I think dismissing these political issues with a "just change the politics, lol" is short-sighted at best.
