@d72d5211 I know in Civil Engineering there are large employee owned companies competing for government work. Interesting there isn’t the same in software, be an interesting way to have an ethically focused supplier that can fill long term obligations 

 @d72d5211 do any governments maintain an internal pool of coding talent that then build/maintain applications for different departments? It’s not rocket science and it would be a fun job working on needed infrastructure versus silly startups
