Great idea. Let’s let the same people who built and managed healthcare.gov build bombs and airplanes.

Then nationalize it. If it is genuinely so important to the country then we can't let it die then it should be nationalized if it needs to be bailed out.

The government would run the existing, already-innovated fabs, and not be responsible for any new innovations. Just keep the lights on and the factory producing.
Honestly, I don’t think our government has the competence.

It's not just the investors and creditors that need to be wiped out. Above all else the managers need to be fired, with no bonuses or golden parachutes.
Which manager receives golden parachute? wtf?

Intel clearly doesn't have the competence.
There is absolutely no reason to believe our government is competent enough to solve that particular issue. Heck, China hasn’t succeeded in solving it; and only recently began mass production of 14nm. If TSMC, and only TSMC, was not around, Intel would be viewed as ultra-competent right now.

Are people really still citing this website as a government failure? It had some scaling issues at launch that were fixed within 2-3 months and has been serving tens of millions of Americans without any major incidents since then.

> Just let it fail. How about we do something about the financial hackers who are just laughing their way to the bank either way?
Billionaires should not exist.
I'm ok with them, but they should not use their money against the rest of us.
Because when we pay for their wealth, then there is an accounting step missing somewhere.

> complaining that not everyone can buy a house In my ex-Soviet country you were guaranteed to get a free apartment provided by the government. Everyone I know who lived in a city got one, right up to 1991. All you needed to do was to register in a queue and wait for a few years (2-5 depending on several factors like family status — single moms were prioritized, for example). Now we're complaining that "not everyone"…
Housing is the cause of 90% of the problems in the west, and that's driven by democratic policies to restrict the supply, not by capitalism.
