Sounds to me like you should fix those problems rather than just giving up altogether.

The idea that there is something fundamental about governments that maeks them incapable of doing these things correctly is nonsense.

The people don’t believe in paying for competence in government employees. Then they are shocked and outraged when bottom 10% compensation leads to bottom 10% performance. If you want to hire someone to do product management for a nine figure government project maybe you should pay more than $90k to the product manager if you want it to be managed properly. The government gets exactly what it pays for in these roles.
