Well you wouldn’t now because apple can attract more workers with better salaries. If we funded government agencies to pay employees competitively then perhaps that would change. Again - self fulfilling.

And again, I am unwilling to pay for 300k programmers with my tax dollars. Already annoyed about 100k police officers.

So what’s the solution then? Because what will happen is that without attracting top talent, government will just be completely unable to do anything. Roads will be terrible, subways will be terrible, and we will all complain about it. Yet we don’t want to fund programs to fix it.

You’ve effectively implemented societal purgatory.

So the solution is to pay even more money for contractors? Your comments make no sense.

Because the work still needs to be done and it will be outsourced to private contractor who charges 300k x 3.5 multiplier = 1 million per programmer

Do you believe that no programming job can be worth 300k?
