This stunt actually has nothing to do with “fraud” in government spending, but as someone with experience in government procurement, contracting is where the waste is. The government actually doesn’t do too badly when we keep the work in-house. It’s these multimillion dollar contracts to some private company that are where the waste, fraud, and abuse are. Go fucking audit SpaceX. Revisit those contracts. Bet we can save billions every year on just one companies stupid fucking defense contracts. Then go after the rest of these contractors. Threaten to bring the work back in house and see how they react. Follow through and actually bring the work back in house, build the public sector engineering and manufacturing expertise, and see where we are.

No he’ll sell enough to not fall below and leave everyone else’s retirement savings holding the bag. Fucking ghoul.

I’ve got my personal phone and a government-issued iPhone. The iPhone gets turned off as soon as I leave work in the evening and I turn it back on when I get to work. I only give out my work phone number, so I don’t get bothered when I’m off the clock. It’s pretty convenient tbh.

The same sort of winning the US is doing in Iran

I’m very curious what they’d say it needs to pass in order to be “proven”.

And then I’m curious if a pack of ground beef from the grocery store would be able to meet the same standard

If you are in an industry where an emergency at 2 am cannot wait until 0900 (or whenever shift starts in the morning), fucking pay a swing shift to be there. Or fairly compensate your employees for calls off the clock. Either way, stop expecting free labor from your employees. And if your business can’t afford to exist without fairly compensating those who work for it, then your business should not exist.
