Where did the closed shop restrictions come from, did it come from anti-union lobbying or some think tank somewhere? This smells completely like "the government is useless", then going in and defunding things that the government is responsible for.
The best analogy of finished software I have heard is this:
> Software is done, like mowing the lawn is done.
We live in an imperfect world, if we want to keep ourselves safe and prevent bad actors out of our data/technology. Updates are a part of the process. You don't mow your lawn once, it has to be maintained. Which is the same as software.
This is something that we would be all better for if we could teach this concept to everybody so that updates are just a normal part of life.
