Your Billions At Work



Okay, I got to help check this job today.

I say check, but really, it's impossible. We're talking about 13 sub-documents with sections that are letter sized mixed with sections that are 11x17, with text, charts and schematics all to support a bid for Government Work.

One of the sub-sections was over 1300 pages. Yeah.

Remember the $900 hammer? This is why it's a bargain: to legally sell a hammer to the Pentagon, you have to provide this sort of absurd documentation.



Seriously, all you see here is two copies of one bid for one government contract. God bless them for having it printed where my bread is now buttered, but we'd be better off if the tax dollars that support such bad craziness just stayed in our wallets.



The person showing off her polydactyly is the other half of the art department. This project was her bailiwick. Better her than me, right?
