I’m the last person to defend PE companies. I saw first hand what they were like when I was responsible for integrating acquisitions software. But there seems to be a lot more at play. Taxpayers too cheap to fund infrastructure. The article calls out fundraising drives needed to keep equipment up and running and training.

Why are firefighters volunteers anyway instead of getting paid?

Why should any company create software that they can’t do at a profit - ie rewriting software for a new federal standard?

Every problem is downstream of people wanting government services and not wanting to pay for them.
