You might think that but the US couldn't even design a website to sell you insurance. Healthcare.gov is still a cumbersome nightmare.

  It seems to me that the US Government can get impressive things done if they set their mind to it - as examples, consider their prowess at things like propaganda and waging war.

    Idk about the propaganda, but the US is really really bad at waging war. The US just has a ton of resources and willingness to spend outsized amount of budget on "defense."

      > Idk about the propaganda, but the US is really really bad at waging war. Can you name any other country who can come even close to the US's (where they have substantial causal involvement) body count in the last few decades? And for the propaganda part: consider the US public's opinion on the righteousness of their behavior on the world stage, or the manner in which (from an abstract perspective) they evaluate/perceive the Russian/Ukraine conflict compared to when the US is the aggressor.
