And people ask why we can do with 75% less govt employees

You need someone to take the specs from the customer to the engineers.
Like physically walk the customer specs from one part of the building to the other side of the building. That's a government managerial position I would like.

It’s more about fiefdoms, freedom, power and control. They don’t want to share or have to take direction and be limited.
In some cases, people actually believe they can’t be successful without it.

Trump and Musk are the 2 most consequential Americans of the last 50+ years.
Imagine all of this fraud increasing daily under the left. The country would be over and bankrupt.

I would say there is a reason for such...diffusion.

This figure reflects the NIH's total budget, with the vast majority—approximately 83% or more—allocated to extramural research grants awarded to researchers at universities, medical schools, and other institutions across the United States and beyond.
48 billion of your and my tax dollars going to who the frick knows what!

First, I suspect that they have used a VERY narrow definition of "different IT systems" (e.g. saying that win98 and win 95 were two different "systems"), BUT there is no question that the government uses too many -- completely incompatible -- systems and that it results in significant inefficiencies.

People ask why DOGE seems like a waste. Where I work we have damn near that many systems with a fraction of the employees of NIH, the team i work on does nothing but float from system to system fixing shite and we're the leaders in our market by far

There are people who post on this forum who have collected a paycheck from the American taxpayers for 20-30-40 years. These same people are quick to criticize DOGE while at the same time they claim to be in favor of reducing a bloated federal government .

Just wait until they get to the federal department of redundancy department.

It's called a plausible deniability structure.

data automation can be a real life changing experience, but you have to start with mapping the work process and building in logic that requires full disclosure of purpose.
