- victorbjorklund 4mo agoWhich law are you claiming is about all govt it systems? Note this is not about trains or shit. This is about govt it system.
- tokai 4mo agoPlease do a minimum of research before you call some one out on bullshit.

- arjie 4mo agoThat's a logical thing for governments to do. Governments are under pressure on different axes than the companies they contract to do things. Governments switching contracts won't ever make the news, but it's much harder for them to fire people in order to take advantage of increasing efficiencies. Likewise, they cannot short-term employ people easily without this structure.
