I’m not going to fall for paying politico for subscriptions means we’ve fallen to communism but how is the US Gov. paying a private third party for an API to pull data off of US govt. open data?
What do you mean? Public institutions don’t necessarily have interconnected systems and private companies have often be tasked with filling those gaps. I learned this during Covid when they specifically paid private companies to collect and analyze wastewater data.
I’m not saying that it’s a good thing just that is how it often works here
