I agree in general, but non-profits themselves have very little to do with the argument, which seems to be that the outsourcing of what should be rightly considered government services for the common good results in gross and unpunished waste. Whether the organization receiving the public largesse is for-profit or a non-profit seems beside the point. Government administrations, at all levels, have abdicated their responsibilities to the citizens, by indulging in this form of wasteful theater. A perfect and horrendous confluence of neo-liberal and faux-progressive ideologies has led us to where we now stand.

Today we have applications a million times more complex running on low end boxes. Small countries don't even compare to the big tech user database. It seems what little arguments the abdication had going for it self require a context before 1990.

This is from the bloke that's taking charge of said government, and all of its executive capacity. It makes no sense. But, he never really did. Why vilify your own organization, and its essential responsibility to its citizens? It probably won't work out well.
