Alright team, I’m bringing the opposite opinion to this thread. Bring your pitchforks.

Two things :

1. Hanlon’s razor. Consultants are not mensa candidates. They are ordinary people who sometimes do a shit job.
2. Complexity. Each state has its own wildly complex eligibility and availability rules. Each insurer within each state, equally so. As much as this article shits on Deloitte for having 20+ state contracts, that doesn’t mean 1 common platform / common solution. People within the fediverse - being somewhat more tech inclined - should have some empathy for this

I hate Deloitte as much as the next guy, but why no hatred for the politicians (or special interest groups comprised of insurers) that wrote opaque state-based legislation? Speaking of insurers, why no hate for them? Whether private or public - they literally have a vested interest in denying coverage…

If we are going to throw stones, let’s find the right villain.

“That doesn’t explain why they used the wireless version of that Logitech instead of wired to control the thing they were literally inside.”

Yes, that sarcasm is profound and deep.

In case my implied message is unclear, go fuck yourself.

I suspect the wired cabling would be to control components inside the sub, not outside. And I say that only because it’s unlikely that wireless signals would penetrate the sub walls.
