holy crap...before everyone spooges all over themselves and this guy mike. might it not be a good idea to step back and understand what it means to turn the ship at the federal level!?!?!?!
it's embarrassing enough that someone in the HHS thought they had even a remote clue about delivering technology at scale, but seriously, does anyone really think that much has changed!?!?
it's super cool that a few more than 10 or 15 folks can sign up for a federal service at one time, but does that have any relevance at all to real change?
short answer: no. as in hell no....as in fuck no....
if you vote for someone with an R or a D after their name you are a part of the problem not a part of the solution...in particular, if you bail out an empty suit like obama or bush, you are also a part of the problem, not a part of the solution...
- djur 12y agoYour mistake is in identifying the government with the people who represent it (Obama, Bush) rather than the people it represents (us). If the work Dickerson and the USDS does helps improve the ways government serves the people, then they are performing a good work, regardless of whether the president is Obama or Bush or Ron Paul or the floating, disembodied head of Eugene Debs.
