Same, but the difference is that we're not stupid kids.
Kidsarefuckingstupid
yeah. if the average age of your soldiers is like 35 the military would have a rather hard time.
If these cunts had any real tech skills they’d be making bank in industry. Fucking morons.
They have enough skill to be dangerous, not enough skill to work on actual products.
They have access to priceless, otherwise unobtainable, data with no ethics. They'll unfortunately get paid one way or another.
No skills needed to break shit and misread COBOL.
Thats the point.
Thats over 300k in just salaries for 3 twenty something's with no knowledge at all.
Don't undersell it as "over 300k" when it's a whopping 482k!
Counting recruitment, healthcare, etc you’re over half a million for some high schoolers to fuck over the VA.
Saving money isn't going to happen.
The government will pay more to a company that will pay contractors less.
All the bullshit about privatization streamlining anything is such a fucking joke.
It's just adding useless middle men who take a cut, but that's how our economy is set up. Those middle men do zero work and make the most money. And they're gonna do everything they can to keep it that way.
It was pretty funny at that town hall when that woman said that fElon gets paid millions a day from We The People after the GOP bot tried that "fElon is working for free, you guyzzzz!" garbage.
It’s not about waste though.
Yeah, wish the news would say 'claims is about waste' instead of treating it as true.
If the filthy rich know anything, it's that quashing one's personal morals takes money.
