I think the startup has good intentions, but I think is focusing on the wrong end of things. With good reason, though, as I don't imagine there's much money to be made in the areas that really require attention.
My hypothesis is if we had competent (I mean most, not just some) elected officials in the first place, almost none of the chronic issues would exist to begin with. Voters need to be far more critical of who we put in office (all offices at national, state, and local levels).
But how do we educate ourselves on them? We need people working to make raw, unfiltered data readily available to voters BEFORE they vote so we end up with a far more productive / capable government to begin with.
