I wonder what would happen if EU harmonized the legislation so that the EU states could go together and develop an OSS journaling system. The amount of money saved would be astronomical.

Spending money is what drives the economy. No diverse expensive healthcare software means thousands of employees don't get paid and don't spend earned money within the economy.

  • When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure. Goodhart's law.

  • That's broken window fallacy.

    • I think you're right. At the end of the day it just makes healthcare more costly without real benefit.

    • "Broken windows" is not a fallacy. The common belief that it's a fallacy is a fallacy.

      "Broken windows" indeed can stimulate the economy and improve the lives of people. But not _always_.
