6. The "call centers" in the federal government

aren't just a big room of civil servants - most of it is "contracted out" - or at least "was" until the DOGE boys started cancelling the contracts, clueless about what they were for.

And what they also don't "get" is that depending on how the contract is written, those "contractors" could be working ONSITE or OFFSITE. So if you walk in a room with lots of people with headsets - they are probably contractors working "onsite" (which is "cheaper" because the government isn't paying for them to work offsite at their contractor facility).
