Contracts for private sector companies doing work for the public sector tend to protect the private sector company from being fired. Also you may want to check who sits on the boards of some of the private contractors working for your government (or you might not want to - the results might make you more cynical).
- drzaiusapelord 10y agoObviously we can't have a perfect world, but vendors get fired all the time. Contracts go up for renewel, a new administration fires old vendors, etc. Public sector unions are eternal and only get worse over time. As far as "connections" go, Theranos is imploding right now even with its deep government and military connections.

- drzaiusapelord 10y agoThat's opinion not fact. Fact is no federal public sector union has ever eliminated itself, yet there's a long history of the government firing vendors.
