đ¨ Your Tax Dollars at Work... Or Not! đ¨
Imagine buying a car, but before you even test drive it, the dealer forces you to pay in full. Then, when the car wonât start, they shrug and say, âToo bad, we already got the check!â
Welcome to the U.S. Governmentâs genius procurement system, where bureaucrats care more about checking boxes than making sure your money isnât wasted. Thanks to the Prompt Payment Act, agencies are forced to pay for expensive equipment before itâs even installed or testedâmeaning millions of dollars go down the drain on useless junk that never works.
One former scientist spills the details on how this insanity plays out in real life: equipment that never worked, warranties that expired before testing even began, and clerks who only care about avoiding audits, not fixing problems. Spoiler: The taxpayer always loses!
Read the full story and see just how deep the government grift runs. Youâll laugh, cry, and maybe scream into the void. đ¤Śââď¸đ¸
