With that mindset, everything becomes a middleman. Baker? Middleman for your bread. Farmer? Middleman for your milk. Hardware store? Middleman for your metal. Metal smelter? Middleman for your ore. Oxygen? Middleman for your survival.

Citizens (taxpayers as you apparently like to refer to them) already have access to this information, along with access to a vast amount of other information. When given the choice to read up on government contracts and watching cat videos on GoogleTube they will choose the latter, not the former. Education would be a way to teach people how the world around them works, but that would cost money and it appears that some governments rather spend that money on other things (guns, oil, banks or whatever top spending your local government tends to have).

Disagree. A baker makes bread. Milkman does some physical work to produce and provide a real product. What does Govly do? Get in the middle of a transaction you can complete without them and take a fee for filing some forms for you. Theyre maybe a secretary or something less at the very most.

Disagree. A baker gets in the middle of mixing some ingredients you can get yourself without them and take a fee for mixing that stuff for you.

I think you might simply not have a clue what a value proposition is, what a product is or what optimisation is.

Well that's the product. Yeah, I can sit in $place all day and complete $tasks I need done. However, if there is someone that I can pay to do it for me, then it's a simple comparison: my time vs their cost.
