Our tax money going to good use.../s
Back years ago, the government gave a grant to some university to study the mating habits of the African Tree Frog...
Their conclusion after a year and a half of exhaustive study:
‘They exist, therefor they do...”
You know, I used to wonder what pixie dust our partners and senior managers would use to get company leaders to sign off on multi-million dollar deals, when often they just got a gigantic motion machine that generated a bunch of paper that said “you need better I/T services”.
And they did it over and over and over again. For decades.
Once in awhile someone outside would complain that our group (or the others like them) got their company for millions of dollars.
When I told them what the deliverables likely were, they asked how I knew. I said, seen it done in all sorts of places.
But I never figured that you could get idiots at the National Science Foundation to sign off on $709,000 for sexist glaciers.
Incredible.
