Sad, but becoming true

.gov is the new .com [Link]

Remarking on Anil Dash joining Expert labs, Theresa D. Singh tweeted:

.gov is the new .com

and I couldn't help but think back to a New York Times article which mentions Henry Chung, formerly an assistant vice president at Merrill Lynch, now a NYPD patrol officer, and another officer who formerly worked for WaMu:

“I was making a lot of money, and then not making money,” he said. “As the economy got worse, the investments dried up and I needed more stability. The police offer a pension that’s unheard of.”

And I shudder at the notion that ".gov is the new .com" is completely plausible.
