    That’s good. Domestic spending is the best way for a government to stimulate the economy.

        How is this a bad deal for the public? Tax dollars go directly to the local market and the only people who have to change their behavior are those voluntarily seeking employment in the government.

        It’s a complete win.

          Because sometimes that only results in worse features with more overhead. Not everything is interchangeable with the press of one button.

            The harm is negligible and the benefit massive. This is an obvious win for the French people.

              You have no idea how complex it is to develop E2EE software. At least they could go with self hosted Matrix (in fact they already do in some departments!). Matrix is even designed to be extensible!

          Because they could be paying more money for a worse product or service.

          It’s not beneficial to take a worse deal just because you’re making domestic people richer instead of foreign ones.
