What I find amusing is the assumption that the private sector manages projects better than Government - market forces etc.
Working in the private sector, I've seen some astonishing fvck ups.
One example, a decision made in just 5 weeks to spend over half a billion dollars on an acquisition that has proved to be utterly parlous.
Big companies can be just as incompetent, wasteful and bone-headed stupid as Governments - in some cases, even more so.
