Yup DoD for the Navy. It is fricking insane the amount of paperwork. I was in O&G for 15 years and this is ridiculous.
I’ve been involved in both kinds of contracting and it’s just stupid how bad the government stuff is.
The oil and gas people make smart decisions and move at pretty quick speeds with very good results. The government plays the paperwork slow game and still gets shite wrong half the time.

External audits of financial statements of trillion and billion dollar companies are largely worked on by 23 year old kids fresh out of college
On this note, the audit opinion always references the financial statements being “materially correct.” That is usually a percentage of net assets or revenues. 2% of net assets isn’t uncommon. Depending on the size of the company, this can be 10s or even 100s of millions of dollars.

Coming up this summer I will have been a nurse for 20 years. As soon as I decided to pursue nursing, I was met with an onslaught of hopeful and congratulatory messages from pretty much everyone. One particular strain of these messages was concerned with "The Nursing Shortage", there was a massive "Nursing Shortage" and this would benefit me greatly because I would have the upper hand in the economic "supply vs demand" equation. Coupled with these legendary Baby Boomers getting really old and needing more medical care because, well......old people, many were led to believe that the demand for nurses would also be legendarily huge, and the supply was in no way going to match up.
So if you got into nursing it was gonna be a win stacked on top of another win, wrapped in winners, and sprinkled with WINNING! (I went from being hopeful that I was making a wise career choice that had the potential for good long term strength to kinda smelling bullshite because ....well... you know the saying about things that sound too good to be true. "Why are so many people giving me the Hard Sell on nursing, I've already decided to be a nurse. Who are they trying to convince here?" <---I wish that would have made me reconsider, but I was young and wanted out of college and I wanted a damn job with my damn degree dammit!)
I feel it's necessary the provide context to my opinion, there are many different capacities for nurses to enjoy employment in the United States, but I have only ever worked in intensive care environments in hospitals; some small, many medium sized, many large, a few HUGE ones here and there, so my statement is only about nurses in hospitals. There is no "Nursing Shortage" at all, none to speak of that I have ever seen. So don't pass this lie on to your children, nieces, neighbors, anybody,...please. It's bullshite. Nursing is a fine career(although I'm aware of how many of you OT mutants feel about nurses, and in a way....yer kinda right, about some of us.....but mostly wrong about most of us, not that you can be convinced of this), but the reality is there is no Nursing Shortage.
Healthcare is a "for profit" business...from sea to shining sea, because this is how the people of this country want it. Like all "for profit" businesses it's got bloated administrations full of overpaid idiots, there are insanely rich executives and board members just raking it in, and then there are the workers....just keeping it all going. Healthcare is no different than any other industry in that regard. Any mention of a Nursing Shortage, or any kind of healthcare worker shortage, is just a cover because no one in the administration/leadership wants to say, "We're doing fricking business over here, yeah yeah, you're dying, she's dying, he's in pain, but we're trying to make a buck here, so ........look, there's a nursing shortage, talk to the manager." It makes them sound so much more cruel than they view themselves to be, so they lie about it and make convenient excuses to distract us all. Sounds familiar, no?

You can take the exact same distillate, age it for different lengths of time or in different types of barrels and bottle it at different proofs and come away with things that all taste different.

Tito's vodka is not handmade inside a copper pot in Austin,TX. It is made from the same shite that most every other American vodka is made from: mass-produced ethanol from Archer Daniels Midland. They take the ethanol & run through copper stills so they can still legally claim to make it in copper pots. It has literally zero effect on the liquid at all.
Next time someone claims that Tito’s is locally produced ask them how they accomplish that without any onsite storage for grain, potatoes or rice.

Hospitals and healthcare in general are not the money printing machines everyone thinks.
The vast majority of services are net losers and payer mix is everything. Commercially insured patients are the only profitable patients.

We like to blame politicians for everything that is wrong, and while they deserve a lot of it the people don't help.
