I think the risk that companies build their own systems of record - ERP, ITSM, CRM etc - is incredibly low Companies are not stupid. They have no competence here, the stakes are massively high, and regardless of how easy it is, they would still have maintain and optimize it, which is, ultimately, a distraction from their actual business. Same reason AWS, Azure and GCP are such incredible businesses I genuinely think the people who believe this have either never worked in a real business or simply live in spreadsheets with no understand of how enterprise software is bought and sold I do, however, think the risk of the legacy SaaS providers being beaten by AI-native competitors from below is much higher Figma ate Adobe’s lunch because collaboration was native to the cloud and Adobe couldn’t adapt.

Both of these people would get insanely offended if you starting talking about 'real Americans' vs 'immigrant Americans' but for some reason being from Ohio and moving to New York is a form of original sin that must be cleansed with humiliation rituals.

Blue-state Republicans and red-state Democrats are the most moderating influence in Congress and are usually instrumental to any bipartisan legislation. Their continued erosion through gerrymandering will only make Congress more polarized and less capable of governing.
