For some definition of "handles", sure.

Most of our transportation is actually handled by local/state departments. The Federal govt just gives the states money to keep the interstates from falling apart.

Libertarianism is distributed computing applied to economics.

Distributed computing is a waste when you already have a supercomputer available for your exclusive use.

I dunno, Google's strategy of using a lot of off the shelf hardware as opposed to supercomputers seems to be paying off well.
