Yes, because the government does things like staff a building with 100 government employees that could have been replaced by a simple website if it was done by a private company.
- Nifty3929 2y agoOr, more the point, staffed by 100 employees that could have otherwise been producing houses, shoes, food, medicine, movies etc. But they aren't doing those things because they are busy working for the government.
- gamblor956 2y agoThere is no chance that the 100 employese making the website would have been making houses, shoes, food, medicine, etc., because they wouldn't have the skills to do any of that. The alternative to working for government making a useful website that would be productively used by millions of their fellow citizens is working for yet another "startup" making Yet Another Pointless Social Media or AI scam with no revenue model beyond getting acquired by a bigger company.
- c22 2y agoI've seen a private company spend thousands of dollars developing a website and then not even launch it. Bad decisions exist across the entire human experience, public and private.
- user90131313 2y agoDifference is in private company, owner or investors pays for that decision. In a goverment mostly who pays for the bad decision ??? yes.
- c22 2y agoAccording to all the comments I'm replying to here there's no difference and it's everybody because the people wasting their time aren't making shoes.
