When was the last time you used government-run software? Was it a good experience?

All the time. Yes. I've also had bad experiences with plenty of private companies.

Less than a month ago, to sign up for my COVID vaccine. Yes, it was a good experience.

Yes actually, I recently signed up for my vaccination online via the GoVAX system, was flawless and painless: https://massvax.maryland.gov/

I've used plenty of for-profit software that did essentially the same thing but which fell flat on it's face in terms of UI/UX.

Amtrak is great. I generally like government-run services. Have you tried dealing with your local cable monopoly? It's a nightmare -- why not get the government involved so things work more smoothly and there is more competition?
