I don't buy it. This contractor got paid. I don't see how a business would pay a contractor for not delivering, and if they did deliver and the product was crap

I don't buy it. This contractor got paid. I don't see how a business would pay a contractor for not delivering, and if they did deliver and the product was crap, they would directly suffer as a result.
The only reason the government has to change healthcare.gov is because it's an issue that republicans have put on TV to use against democrats. That's it. If it sucked, but wasn't in the news cycle (like everything else), then the government wouldn't do a damn thing about it.
- Tloewald 13y agoSo, do you have any experiemce of consulting work (I mean the big firms like McKinsey and Accenture)? Most consulting work comprises being paid handsomely for failing to deliver. Sometimes they get paid to destroy companies. (I think McKinsey has run some countries into the ground.)
- andrewflnr 13y agoI'm confused about whether/how you disagree with me. In case it wasn't clear, I'm generally in favor of private enterprise being in charge of things; I'm trying to rein in my "government is stoopid!" instincts a bit :). Generally, it seems stupidity of an organization scales with the number of people therein, private or not. Even corporations let horrible products persist if they don't hear enough whining. Government just has some extra features that make it bad at projects like this.
