Yes, as it would be a public good to everyone to be able to know where the potholes(that aren't profitable to fix for these private companies apparently) are so they can avoid them.
They might take a step back and realize that it would be more cost-effective to just own the roads, in which case your thought experiment ends where we are, because where we are was a place reasoned to(to an extent).
Doesn't the government use those software (private and open source) to handle private information of citizens and other sensitive information? And what about their contractors? That alone justifies maintaining such a database.
It's not. The CVE board members include representatives from CrowdStrike, Microsoft, Github Security, LP3, F5, Panasonic, NIST.
Everyone crying about "Oh no! This government institution is going away! Private companies would never do this! They would use it for financial gain!"
Um.... It's already run entirely by private entities via government money. It's the literal definition of a "Public Private Partnership." You know, that way the US government get away with doing a lot of shady stuff via non-government contracts who are totally not state actors /s.
Going fishing in Canada, fishermen will just smack a walleye in the noggin with an oar, knocking it senseless, and throw it in the water a few yards from the boat. Eagles will just swoop down and grab it. Pretty interesting way to get up close an personal.
I have mixed feelings on trans issues (dont think trans women should participate in women's sports, i do think parents should be able to choose medical treatment for thier trans kids, i think both those things merit a lot more research), however, the last admin was not pushing anything transgender. You fell for propaganda!
As for covid vax efficacy: there is lots of non government research showing its efficacy.
that's what I'm trying to say, it does not mean that. you're just spreading false white-supremacist propaganda. If you have multiple well qualified applicants (you get to decide what the qualifications are) and time after time you establish a preference based on protected group criteria like race or sex, then under the civil rights acts the EEO can sue you. that has been the case since the 60's, that is not DEI! There is no "DEI" government policy or law. DEI is something citizens developed to ensure everyone is made to feel welcome in different organizations. You can call it b.s. or performative and you would be right, but it isn't what you claim it is.
Sorry, but I work in the real world, and I see it first hand. I agree it is illegal. But someone with the power to prosecute has to care first.
Look at the bloomberg report from 2023[1]. You really think 94% hiring of non-whites was organic? Literally impossible. Calling any of this white supremacy is laughable.
so, let me get this straight. You think it's better to illeminate DEI instead of people using it as an excuse to break the law? You know there is a pattern here I think. With illegal migration, they go after migrants instead of employers breaking the law to hire them. It is indeed white supremacy because you're using DEI as an excuse to go after marginalized people instead of law breakers.
I too have seen managers hire people based on things like race, why is no one going after them? They're not breaking the law because they're being coerced by DEI, they're breaking the law to appease each other and to do business illegally.
Just like DEI was abused to further racism against white people, anti-DEI is being abused by the same people to harm the people DEI was designed to include. But the actual law breakers, no one is touching. You can keep DEI as it is and go after equal opportunity violators just fine, but that isn't happening because that isn't their goal. Racism is their goal.
