Imagine a cloud provider run like the DMV.

  Imagine if people actually though government services could be delivered properly if funded and managed correctly. Like say, gov.uk, or a large number of public services in Australia (both state and federal). I've dealt with our equivalent of DMV and it was effective, efficient and there wasn't the stupidity of queueing that I've seen in US discussions about the DMV. The US is one of the few advanced economies where there is a deliberate effort to screw with the government (eg defunding IRS auditing) and then complaints that government can't deliver services, followed by corrupt contracts to private enterprise that deliver worse results for higher costs. Sure, most governments and bureaucracies aren't the most efficient, by their nature, they have rules and processes imposed on them. But that's more of a function of the "management" than of the services themselves.
