2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Government incompetence

Icon politics.svg
Government actions, scandals, and programs that involve incompetence on the part of the government. Incompetence is defined in this context as creating unwanted side effects and blowback and/or failing to accomplish the intended effect in a way that could have been easily avoided or accomplished with the knowledge that they had at the time. Thus this category should be distinct from activities or outcomes that were caused by unpreventable helplessness (like Reconstruction or the 1929 stock market crash) or intentional maliciousness, corruption, or apathy. Thus Jimmy Carter's unwitting push towards deregulation would be a candidate for this category, but the late 1970s oil shortages would not.
