The importance of internal public sector roles such as communications is something we need to continue to talk about to people who are worried about governments wasting money. We need to make it apparent to everyone that they are essential for basic, frontline public systems to work effectively. Our schools, hospitals, pollution control, roads... all rely on 'backend' systems and communication between different arms of government.
The major tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas (yes, we're talking the US, not a poverty stricken nation) is becoming a problem because there are no communications between public health departments and agencies - because Trump has halted their funding.
