  • I’m focused on outcomes. I just think individual performance contributes to those overall outcomes.

    I’ve seen millions in wasted IT equipment that never got used due to incompetence. Old ass equipment that sticks around far past its expiration which turns into an emergency to replace when it finally starts breaking hard.

    In my current position I work directly with the US government and I actively try to get them to run more efficiently, reliably and cheaply. They literally don’t give a fuck. It’s like talking to a wall.

    I’ve seen far less of that in the private sector.

  • The New York Times ever being perceived as progressive is the biggest scam ever.

  • I’m convinced Lemmy doesn’t know what that is.

  • Sorry. I misattributed the government piece to you instead of one further comment up.

    I can’t say I have any experience with NGOs to make a determination on that for myself.

  • But the quality isn’t good either.

    When I worked in government I was surrounded by people who fucking sucked at their jobs. And why try any harder to get better? They were basically un-fireable. They could come in, do jack shit all day, and collect their paycheck.

    So, no, it’s not an argument for quantity over quality. In my experience, both are better in private industry.

    My experience is based heavily in IT, for context.

    However, I do not believe it is the case that private industry is always the answer, as I stated earlier.

    Have you ever worked in government?

    Getting the simplest shit done takes forever.

    By contrast, getting things done in a private company is quick as hell by comparison.

    I wouldn’t say government bodies “function better” in my experience.

    All that said, healthcare is one thing I’d definitely like to see handled by the gov rather than privatized.

  • Yup

  • Nah Lemmy would be bitching about Biden not cancelling student loan debt despite Trump judges being the ones blocking it.

    “Status quo” wasn’t enough to get people off their asses. Well, we’re about to see the opposite of that. Congrats.

    Years of chiropractic didn’t fix shit. Couple weeks following that book? Huge improvement.

  • One article I read included the title of this book but I didn't note it down. Do you know the book title? It had to do with healthcare insurance claims and how to navigate them.

  • I think it was funny but that’s completely irrelevant.

    Who the fuck forks over any money, much less $50k for… what? What does this coin do that any of the thousands of others don’t? Because someone said a funny thing? …. What??

    I have zero sympathy for these dipshits. We’re going to have a lot more of this content in the US over the next 4 years.

  • many people voting today don’t remember what it was like in the 00’s where insurers would just dump people when they got sick or jack their rates up so high it wouldn’t be affordable.

    You see that here in the thread. I think a lot of people forgot how bad it was and lack imagination for how bad things can get.

    I think we're all about to get a reminder over the next 4 years. Boy, I hope elections function at the end of it.

  • Donald Trump is not even bothering to hide the corruption this time

  • No need. US voters are fine with it. Look at the election for proof.
