- This article may be pretty interesting to people in my field that work in project management and have to deal with government projects (hello, Doug!). It references an earlier article in the beginning that is also worth a read. – Can Agile development work for government, anyway?
- I’ve now moved on to the Mitt Romney part of the book Double Down: Game Change 2012. Somehow I forgot that Romneycare was really a creation of the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation and they actually wanted to implement the individual mandate federally. In the book Romeny seemed really proud of implementing Romneycare and didn’t really want to distance from it at all, but he was encouraged to so he could win the nomination. After the 2008 race he wrote a book called No Apology: The Case for American Greatness. It made the NY Times best seller list but had a double footnote that many Romney related organizations bought them in bulk and other high volume techniques were used (this practice is somewhat common, but normally only triggers a single footnote for bulk sales, bulk sales were insanely high for this book). As the 2012 race approached the paperback was released with a different title, No Apology: Believe in America, and the phrase “we can accomplish the same thing for everyone in the country” in reference to Romneycare implementation in Massachusetts was removed.
