My job is a scrum master to push lean and agile processes. The government has tons of waste and things that aren’t needed. Cut the fat and get solutions. This isn’t rocket science… if it’s important you find a way. If not you find an excuse

CA government is the opposite of lean and agile. The state is controlled by public sector unions who have zero interest in finding a way.

The state assembly recently passed 50 million dollars to Trump proof the state, only to table the measure because of the public outrage in a one party state.

Incentives are the issue. Political allocation of resources will always be inferior to market allocation. The problem is at the root.

I want to add this is what I think. I could be wrong. Could be wrong on many things. I've learned over time that I've been wrong many times. Always looking to learn and improve. Been thinking about this political vs market allocation for a while. Try to punch some holes in it.

Like what? Politics outside of the state is never considered a better option. Think about this. If someone says that guy got the promotion because of politics that's not a complement.

Can you come up with an example? Charity is a good one but I'd argue market charity is superior to political charity. Medicine is another example but that one is terrible. I stand by always until I hear a good argument to the contrary. With respect.

One of the problems caused by the state entering these no profit areas is that they discourage market entrance and distort the natural market.

The market is the true democracy people just don't realize it.

I think always because political forces are greater than market forces. No one represents market forces in Sacramento

Incentive results not political incentives and lobbying. Citizens need to up our game!

As a scrum master you manage 10 day or 2 week sprints right?

That doesn't happen in Sacramento or Los Angeles

Yup. They should implement something similar. Look up lean it started in the automobile industry in japan
