The best gov money can buy
Why anyone, ANYONE believes American government supports anyone but the rich is beyond me.
Let me tell you, any benefits the citizens see are accidental by-products.

Sorry, but people really are that dumb.
I've said it before, us tech folk tend to give far more credit to the average user than they deserve and we also tend to expect them to have more knowledge than they really do.
They don't. Computers are just another tool to them and that's as far as they care. And why should they? I have long since made peace with the fact that they don't care and really don't have to. They have other priorities in life.
A fuck up at this level is more than just one person.
Where was the policy failure? Who failed to follow up that the job was done? Who wasn't reading tech news? Who had the authority to make sure this was a priority but didn't?
The real responsibility, and guilt, is further up the ladder.
Blaming the low man on the pole who has no authority to take unilateral action, is as old as the hills, but still utter bullshit.
How long DS? Oh about another 2 decades because the stereotype is quite real and pervasive.
Not all old gits? Of course. But still the majority. I know, I'm their tech support.
Hell even kids these days ain't as slick as they think they are.
So chill. Tech support exists for a reason. Billions of people can barely operate their devices.
