And now we have a former McKinsey consultant as DOT Sec.
During his term we had aircraft doors coning off midflight, a catastrophic train wreck in Ohio that polluted into New England, a ship tear down a major highway bridge, etc.
I'm looking for a similar thing that absolutely excludes all scraping, bots, search engines, etc. I think the only way we get the web back is cordoning the leeches off to one side. Let them drown in each other's AI regurgitation.
Water and power still need to be reconfigured, obvs we're not there yet, but they don't contain my personal info and can't leak it.
I'm not against govt working with entities when needed, but it's become a lazy solution to outsource functions and often the blame for failure as well, rather than build a responsible solution.
The financial titans of the day invested in and built them.
Govt helped by donating land for right of way.
Sometimes they didn't get built and lost money. Cornelius Vanderbilt's New York Central tried to compete with the Pennsylvania at one time, but the route became the PA Turnpike after he abandoned the effort.
They all ran their own passenger service until Amtrak was formed to bail them out.
The NYCentral and Pennsylvania merged and then went bankrupt, there's a book about the fall of the Penn Central.
There have been many failed railroad companies in the US.
The tech world has become and endless conveyor belt of stupid greedy miseries.
No subscription-based company products should be in public schools. That would stop with inculcating model acceptance.
No federal agency should be using any subscription product, including any cloud products. Public data should not be capable of being held hostage or monetised.
Both are a waste of public funds and set a bad example.
We can put marketing teams in the fields and mines doing honest toil.

Repeat as necessary... it makes the posts different but still not valid.
You can look back to Lee Iacocca. The Ford Pintos caught on fire because he sat back at his desk and laughed at the engineers who wanted to add a safety bar back there, the car had to be 2000 dollars no matter what.
Then he was at Chrysler and pioneered the idea that CEOs could set their own bonuses. At the time it was a shocking idea, called unethical.
I lived un a house that had live 120v DC service.
There was an electric fan that ran on it. The outlets were only in the basement and identical to each other.
