After years of data-driven austerity, it is becoming more and more acceptable for public services to be outsourced to non-profit and faith-based partners. Reimbursement for services can then be tied to outcomes-based government contracts, an arrangement that has garnered support from both progressive and conservative quarters.
To get the data required to run their human capital, life-outcomes gambling enterprise, financiers intend to digitally engineer the lives of the CONTINUE READING: Alice & Automated Poverty Management
