Why do you say this?


It’s a WITCH company out of India that hires very low quality people as cheaply as possible.

They created Accenture Federal Services and win a lot of government contracts because how cheap they are.

I can't speak for Deloitte, but can confirm EY has lost contracts.

To the poster above, I'd think Leidos would be less impacted, aren't they almost exclusively defense contracting?


Leidos has contracts in almost every federal agency. Doge’s goal is to disrupt the DC prime IT contractors to allow for Silicon Valley to come in. They will most certainly take a hit in time.


Don't the prime contractors have extensive operations all over the country, including in Red states?

I am just having a hard time understanding how folks in congress would be in favor of replacing companies that employ their constituents with companies that still primarily employ people in blue areas and with still 80%+ liberal workforces.


I think Congress is about to get a lesson in how government contracts, bases, and field offices benefit their constituents. Some undoubtedly already know.


+1
I can't believe people aren't flipping out. I think there must be a lot of frantic phone calls behind the scenes that we don't see.

The richest guy in the world has no idea what he's doing to the economy?



#1 - It reduces government spending, thus reducing inflation.
#2 - It reduces the abundant waste of DC, therefore, housing in DC will become a lot more affordable.
#3 - LOL at people that take money from the government and think they're important.


WTH is 3? You mean people getting SSA, Medicare, SNAP, WIC? They’re taking money from govt. LOL indeed. But, but, that’s not what you meant right?


Let alone people like Elon Musk, whose companies have been heavily subsidized by federal and state governments.

Hilarious in that I work for one of these companies and they were all so excited when Trump won. I never understood why the government wouldn’t just go directly to the hardware/software companies directly.
The govt does not go directly to these companies because they don’t want it found out they are major stockholders or part owners of these companies.

Appearance of not having your hand in the cookie jar is everything.


You're going to have to back this up.

? sorry, how does reducing government spending reduce inflation?


Yes but there will be lots of consolidation work. However selling over priced liberal news subscriptions for 10k a year per person is going to stop

If this is about Politico, you have no grasp of what PoliticoPro is. It’s not a news subscription, and Politico itself is considered a conservative news source.

This, I have to see. Apparently they are already all sitting in the halls doing nothing because there's no room and if you want to work in the building it has to be secured.

cannot WAIT to see if one of the 20-year-old bootlickers tries to plug in to the pentagon.
