It's not just glaring stuff like this. We should measure government productivity/$ and amount of waste we have. Our nation would be like 3000% better if Gov was run at the efficiency of a SV startup.

- WalterBright 4y agoThe interesting thing is nobody is held to account for how the sinks cost so much. It's just "eh". Seattle has done other things like buying port-a-potties for $250,000 each, and spending $12 million to paint bike stripes on a mile of street. Simply nobody cares about it.

- euroderf 4y agoIf that 12M$ paint job had been accessible via an easy-to-use city web UI, probably some political gadfly would have spotted it at an early enough stage ?
- themitigating 4y agoThen you would complain about the cost of that system. Besides what do you want people to do? Vote republican so they can give farmers subsidies and buy two billion dollar bombers which of course you'll say "it's different"
- euroderf 4y agoWhere did this rant come from ? I'm just suggesting that every polity has gadflies, and if you give them the tools, they'll dig around and find stuff.

- euroderf 4y agoum, okay, wotevs
- themitigating 4y agoAm I wrong, what's the issue

- themitigating 4y agoHow do you know these were a waste of money?
- WalterBright 4y agoBecause when my house was built I know what the port-a-potty on site cost.
