How is shopping on the Apple Store satisfying?? Of all emotions, satisfaction has never been one I’ve felt following that experience. Regret, sadness, yes.

The “move fast and break things” model works in a commercial startup with millions of venture capital $s to burn. When millions of people’s health, safety and livelihoods at stake that model is foolishly dangerous. Government is not business. If it were they would not intentionally cut revenue.

It’s about government efficiency team members joining a new design studio led by Airbnb’s co-founder. The goal is to make government services user-friendly, aiming for an experience as smooth as shopping at an Apple Store.

To make that easier, they’ll be posting everyone’s SSN, DOB and income history on a public cloud with no protections.
