Elders in my family say - Nature has given us two ears and one mouth so that we learn by speaking less and listening more. When everyone follows this simple principle, everyone gets to speak, and everyone gets the opportunity to be heard.
"The federal government’s Obamacare enrollment system has cost about $2.1 billion so far, according to a Bloomberg Government analysis of contracts related to the project."
That had senators intentionally shoving bits of the system into their state. They wanted more money flowing to the state, so larger numbers were a plus from their perspective.
They got to blame any failure on Obama, so why not I guess.
I worked at a startup that operated for over five years with a similar amount of funding. We had a web app, webpage, native mobile apps on both platforms, marketing, customer service, sales, and our own office that was pretty dope. We had something like 75 employees at the peak. I can't believe it either.
