NashBama. YOU DON'T GET IT DO YOU. The Walter Reed system changed from GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES (CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES) DOING THE MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE WORK TO GOVERNMENT CONTRACTORS, WHO HIRE THE EMPLOYEES. There was a Single Bidder for the Contracts, IAP Worldwide Is owned by a hedge fund. The Chairman of the Board of the Hedge Fund is former Treasury Secretary John Snow. The board of directors includes former Kellogg Brown and Root Executives. The outsourcing of "non military support jobs" is part of Donald Rumsfeld's planning.quote:Originally posted by NashBama:quote:Not even CLOSE to being the same thing... no where in the ball park even.
I also heard on the News Today about Comcast going to contract out some of their departments to part--time/none benefit people... maybe THAT is why I am having such a hard time with them... ya think???? Well... it relates to the same thing... anyone here that works for Comcast will have a fit and say NO, that isn't going to happen, and that isn't your problem...
When in REALITY... it is, and no one will even KNOW until the day it is decided... I used Comcast as an Example here... because they are now getting the Dish's underbidding them at such a fast pace, that John Q. Public will probably at least listen to their sales pitich, which IS quite impressive, by the way...
Other companies, BIG ONES, are getting their affairs in order, to get rid of the long-term employees, hire part time ones with NO benefits...
I think Big Business FINALLY got Bush and Cheney's message... on EXACTLY how to make their money while dumping Americans all in one fell swoop...
Sad huh?
For EdKit, you can try to justify yourself as much as you want, the fact of the matter is Walter Reed is run and operated by the federal government. Hiring civilian labor does not mean that Walter Reed is suddenly privately owned. I know it's hard to admit when your wrong, but you're wasting your time here. You're wrong and completely off topic.
For Kindred, please re-post this. I don't understand what Comcast has to do with any of this and really didn't understand the post in general. Thanks.
You have my permission to keep kicking, but I am at least as obstinate as you, and I am better informed, and more experienced, In a fist fight you would win. This IS NOT A FIST FIGHT.
