How are you still blaming this on “the government”? Is your thesis that the business world would be delivering high quality products and experiences if only those damned bureaucrats would get out of the way? What possible evidence do you have left for that hypothesis at this point?
EDIT: this was a misread on my part, retracted, carry on.
He isn't blaming the software problem on the government. He is saying that if we apply this reasoning to everything in our lives, then we have a race to the bottom in other facets, of which one is government.
Yep, I see it now. Thank you.
He is saying "if we apply (or are applying) the same business mentality to government, we will get literally the worst government we are willing to tolerate based on money"
It's not blaming. It's an explanation for probably why things can go wrong.
Gotcha, ok - I’m misreading it. Thank you.
