- undreren 8y agoI'll look into this. The problem is just that in Denmark, the government outsources everything related to software development to the private sector.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoYou could be that person they outsource to.
- thiago_fm 8y agoGovernment is cancer. It is used to wreck people up, not help them.

- mbrodersen 8y agoWhy don't you move to one of those "great" countries that doesn't have a government (aka "failed states") and see how that works out for you?
- odonnellryan 8y agoCan you name one place that doesn't have a government and is successful? Not even good for the people living there, but successful in general?

- mg794613 8y agoThis comment is too short and redicilous. BUT, I do sense where this is coming from. In the Netherlands there is a trend for decades now. That if the employer is the state, you by default underestimate the amount of work, to be able to overcharge them later. Because 'they'll pay anyway'. This has been the main cause of government IT failures (almost all of them). Go over budget, redesign, katching!
