[ale] OT: Cobb County business license office

[Jim Kinney]

HA! I ESPECIALLY like the "expect the best".

I recall the line from Apollo 13, "We're riding a bomb built by the lowest
bidder".

Most gov orgs rely on outside contracting for IT build and often ongoing
support. There's a sweet spot between "stupid money" and "low cost crap"
that is rarely found, it seems.

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
