The government can be efficient and competent if it wants to be.
See, this is the problem with the typical mindsets of people who support the parties that make in into the HoC (and many people who support parties who don’t): you can’t count on the government (or anyone or any organization for that matter) being benelovent all the time, especially when it doesn’t align with their own interests. You need to design a system where benevolence is always a byproduct of acting in one’s own interest, and what is described in the comment I replied to isn’t it.
I mean that’s the problem with corporations too except when they’re publicly traded you also have to contend with fiduciary obligation making sure they always design for the minimum viable product.
Look no further than our Telecom industry to see how that works out.
The main issue with our telecom industry is that it’s heavily protected by government regulation.
