NASA SEWP is where US government agencies go to buy their IT equipment. It is the future of NASA.

From moon landings to scraping white-out off the senator's monitor. Sad

How the mighty have fallen.

With absolutely no evidence, I'm going to claim it was expensive as fuck and the money went to someone who knew someone. Saving money, lol.

Definitely, I used to work for the government, and in my department we pay a company around $10k per unit for $500 Dell computers that anyone can buy from the Dell website. Supposedly this company will provide us with technical "support", though I have never seen it.

lol SEWP.

what is SEWP

I've worked for a corporation and I've seen massive waste myself, on smaller scales

Agreed, I just left one large corporation, the inefficiency in a big corporation is by no means smaller than those from government

Medium sized and small enterprises works much better, but they are inefficient as a whole, they fight each other and eventually someone become bigger and bigger and ends up with higher and higher inefficiency

But to the end, the finance crisis has nothing to do with efficiency, the efficiency is already too high, the distribution of money is the problem: Those who working hard get no money, and those who do nothing get more and more money, since they are sitting in a position that give them all that benefit

Hey you all realize that video done in the white house is by government employees and most are military on duty.  I knew a guy who got assigned to the white house to take video and photos of the President from the Army.  Your tax dollars at work.

There should be a chart of average home prices, college, healthcare expenses over time compared to minimum wage, median wage, etc. I would bet that such a chart would show that helping people to stay in (or worse, go into) debt is not helping them.

They hired a cheaper video producer

The right speaker volume is much lower than the left = result of amateur producer
