This flashlight was from the 1970s. It was heavy, dim and clunky - and yet he had invested more in the toggle switch than it would have cost to buy a brand-new, energy-efficient LED flashlight. For me, that flashlight became a metaphor for how government still approaches technology: instead of replacing outdated systems with modern, efficient ones, we keep bolting on fixes, hoping the old framework will keep up.
