3. More kowtowing to the dubious policy of applying business metric everywhere.

Metrics can be used in deceptive manners to reach predetermined conclusions. We see this being used all the time to justify stagnating the wages of the worker.
Figures don't lie, but liars can figure.

It is nice to see the NYTs publicly admitting that the money addicted usurpers of education and health care don't know what they are doing and are just flailing around.

It is nice to be efficient, but sometimes.the greatest good comes from not streamlining a process.

Health care and education coming into undeniable crisis in the early 2000s wasn't from the sudden inability to preform the tasks they had been doing for decades, but from the failed policies of Reaganomics and the redistribution of wealth upwards. The solution, as always, was blame the victim.
No one has redirected us away from Conservative subjugation. So the crisis has grown. Now, they seek a new party to blame.

Simply end the forty plus years of following the money addicted into the gutters as they search for their next fix.
