That's a good point. Why are you not a huge fan in general though?

I think governments often to do it badly, but I think it's a muscle we (broadly speaking) should try to strengthen, not just concede that we'll never be able to do it well.

I was really frustrated by Australia's COVID app rollout, which was just done in typical government style - by throwing money at a big consulting corporation which delivered trash. But the solution isn't "give up". It's "do better". The solution to corruption in the public sector is to fight the corruption, not abandon the public sector.
