I mean, you have to have law and order. That means laws. Someone has to be able to take specific action regarding those laws, and that means a government. We just have to expect competency and responsiveness from the government. There’s no alternative (get rid of the government and a power vacuum would develop and then be filled within seconds and you’d have a new “government” with a warlord or whatever).

This story actually had a good ending so far as the government actually responded about a day after the Flexport CEO’s Twitter thread. Sure, we wish the problem was solved earlier, but this is a good thing and should be celebrated!

>People are waking up and realizing that government is pretty useless for specific action.

Well, sure. The higher up you go, the less tactical (and more strategic) you become. You wouldn't want your CTO to launch code to production. You want her to make sure there is a plan to utilize CICD practices- that the ICs implement.
