This is the same entity that has literally ruled that you can be charged with blasphemy for insulting religious figures, so intent to protect citizens is not a motive I ascribe to them.
What entity specifically?

There is no such thing as a politically neutral place. Especially not for an organization that has financial ties to many other organizations around the world.

It's a somewhat counterintuitive result from game theory that many of the best strategies we know to various non-trivial games are "mixed strategies". This refers to a strategy (presumably) like the one by AlphaZero here, where moves are chosen from a probabilistic distribution, rather than just picking "the best one". The sub-optimal move choice is counterbalanced by the unpredictability.
In games with hidden information, yes. In open games? There is an optimal path from start to victory, for one of the players. No need to deviate randomly.

Seems obviously a problem of size. Can you point to a working healthcare system in any other country that has a population anywhere close to the US?
Comparing us to countries that are hardly as populous as one US state is not a fair comparison.
As anyone in the tech industry should know, there are a lot of unforeseen issues that popup when scaling something. It's rarely as easy as adding more CPUs or more people for that matter.
If that were true, then solve the problem state by state.

This shocked me:
"to encourage wellbeing: 40 days paid vacation per year: True disconnection is fundamental to help people de-stress and recharge."
Is this common elsewhere in the world? In the US, it Seems like 10 or 15 days is the norm, and maybe 20 after 5 years.
What do the FAANG+ companies offer?
Does the 2 months of vacation also contribute to that disconnected feeling, I wonder?
In the Netherlands some/many people work 40 hours on a 36 hour contract, resulting in almost 10 weeks of paid vacation as well. It's worth a lot to me.

This is a question I've thought alot about, so many some Sys Admins can give a good idea about how to approach it:
How do you create a backup server that is reachable by production servers (so that they can back up to it) without then being vulnerable to the same kind of ransomware attacks that infect the production servers? You can't exactly make them read-only, or else they can't accept the "legitimate" writes that might occur during the normal backup process.
Make the backup servers pull?
