I’m just taking in some disturbing news today.
Turns out that we the taxpayers spent over half a billion bucks building the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) websites, and they really don’t work.
Swell.
Turns out that the old bureaucrats might not be too good at managing the creation of user friendly websites.
For starters, programming experts are saying that they made some basic errors in programming the systems.
One of them was the fact that you had to create an account before you could “surf” around the sites. This means that millions of people were attempting to access the front pages of the websites at the same time.
Which resulted in server overload, and those friendly pages saying, “We are busy right now, please wait.”
So people waited, but the sites never really cleared.
Another problem was that people would be trying to verify the profile they were building, and the page would time out.
And they would have to start.
All.
Over.
Again.
Painful. I haven’t even attempted to fool around with the health care sites yet.
Oh, another thing that has caught the attention is the faceless, bland, company that the government hired to do this programming work.
The company is anonymously named CGI Federal. Spooky.
That price tag of over $600 million is more that it cost for any of the “big name,” big ticket websites to be successful.
Facebook operated for 6 years before spending $600 million.
LinkedIn has only been funded with $200 million.
Twitter got by on a meager $360 million for about 5 years.
Luckily for you, CGI Federal ain’t touching your sand or barite for testing, if you get your testing done here at our lab.
You know exactly who will be doing your frac sand or barite testing, and who you will be dealing with.
Me and the wonderful team at Global Energy Labs.
You can e-mail us and get a response.
You can call us and we will personally answer the phone or call you back if we are in the middle of testing.
Oh yeah, our testing services are a helluva lot better than the old CGI Federal rate.
We offer a full API testing suite at $1,950, soup to nutz.
Take that, faceless government contractor.
