You’re taking a dim view on the government.
Is the government always the most efficient or intelligent? No. But the government can also build nukes, launch ICBMs, coordinate hundreds of spy satellites, etc.
I count those capabilities as pretty smart.

- Eisenstein 3mo agoSounds like something we should remedy.
- UltraSane 3mo agothe US launches new spy sats pretty often. And the US is spending $150 billion replacing every ICBM and silo but the current ones still work fine.
