In my former life, I spend a few years working for a Contacting company - we were expensive and only hired real talent. Rigorous testing for anyone before the job interview even took place. We were expensive as f*ck. Gen-X owner. Nobody took our bids on RFP's seriously.

Never once saw one of our bids on a project get picked up by the big boys or state government.

Not once. They scoffed.

"We can hire 30 people from Palmer group for that!!!"
- 64 Year Old Boomer Department Head

(Palmer Group was a well known Jeet-Farm).

We were rolling in money, despite having never, once ever won a bid.

Our job was to show up after the "cheap labor" created a four-alarm fire, and fix it.

And we charged those same 64 year old fat boomers through the nose to do it.

They'd rather pay twice - once for a shit job and then a premium to fix it - than just pay people to do good work up front.

I say it again: Fucking boomers.

@SilverDeth @npc @phnt Ha, NICE.

Snowden just ended up depressing me. All that shit happened and the response was "Make them promise (again) to stop doing that (again)" and like...cracka I was at AT&T, I heard about the goddamn "Ha, so the government installs these boxes, we have to split and feed the fiber-optic cables to a different cage that we're not allowed inside, isn't that *weird*?" before the "warrantless wiretapping" scandal dropped and they were already building PRISM before that hit the news, like, every single time it's the same shit, how are people this fucking gullible? Very upset. Not Snowden's fault, but still, like...for a few years, just thinking about Snowden would depress me.
