Nothing's gonna happen. They have a majority. We have to wait until the next elections. But when that happens, oh boy are they gonna get their assess kicked.

The article makes a statement, "governments are not good at big yech projects." What's ironic is I have seen government departments do outstanding work on tech projects, except for when they hire it out to private firms. Then the costs run over, things are late, and all sorts of mistakes happen. When they let their own subject matter experts do the work, it tends to work better.

To be fair, this is from personal observation, but I gave worked on almost 60 technical projects over the last three decades, and a decent percentage of thosd have been government projects. And, to be clear, I worked for the outside private organizations brought in. The government teams were extremely good at what they do.
