De-privatize the government. Having contractors fulfill government roles is bad for all of us. While healthcare and power are obviously the most important functions we've handed over to for-profits, this month I'm personall quite irritated by ID.me. A few years back I needed it for something but was not able to successfully create an account and found some workaround. Government accounts I use, thankfully, have always been accessible either via password or login.gov- until now. My treasury bonds are now only accessible if I give ID.me my passport (and that's assuming it works this time). There is no explanation for why login.gov is not an option for this and I'm pissed off for philosophical as well as practical reasons.
