Graffiti free is an aesthetic choice.

In fairness to the register they also ridicule moving to a dedicatdd ERP in the same article.

You’re r absolutely right there is nothing wrong with Excel. Its powerful software and ultimately it cones down to human and organisational processes about whether its being used to its best or not. You can also have the most expensive top end dedicated ERP in the world and still be a total mess. Similarly business used to run on pen and paper and could be highly efficient.

Software is just a tool, and organisation go wrong when they think it alone is the solution to their problems.

Also I doubt Health NZ overspend has anything whatsoever to do with excel. Instead it’ll be due to rising demand, and inflationary pressures on public finances. We have the exact problems here in the UK with the NHS just scaled up to a £182bn.

This is what you get when you have such a polarised electoral system. People treat the parties like sport teams and support them no matter what. So they vote against their own interests because they believe they should never vote for the other side.

1/3 of people dont even vote in the US because there is no real choice.

Its amazing how often you see people aggressively defending the democrats purely on the basis that they’re not the republicans. Even criticising the dems is framed as being pro Republican which is crazy. Both parties are shit, both have sewn up the US electoral system between them and keep everyone else out at all levels.

And during elections that opinion gets shut down and people become complicit with the system. “Voting for a 3rd party is a wasted vote” etc.

The idea that voters should be registered as democrat PR Republican is also crazy - it’s like supporting a party is part of someone identity which is weird.

The only way out is wholesale reform of the system and I don’t see either party offering that. A 3rd party could try and build from the bottom up and dismantle the two parties powerbase but it doesn’t seem to be happening.

So maybe it’ll be revolution when a party pushes people too far? Though Americans seem willing to tolerate an awful lot of shit without doing anything at all.
