I hope we demand a refund and fire them.

What a waste of money, I hate these companies and I hate that our government keeps using them.

I get they’re all scared of fixed costs but at this point how much have we wasted on these companies? They could have hired 7-10 full time employees at $80-$100k for a year for the cost of this one report. They could have hired 4-6 highly qualified professionals for that cost. They could have hired some really good term employees.

How many reports like this are we wasting resources on?
