Exactly. Whoever owns the survey company is likely a democrat donor, or somebody's kid, or whatever, and the massive overpayment is them getting their cut. Of course the DNC expects a hefty donation the next election cycle in return.
I sincerely hope they're not just eliminating the waste, but also going after the person(s) who benefited (I mean, DOJ or whoever would go after them, obviously Elon wouldn't be going after anyone).
I now believe that these stupid projects and their stupidly high budgets were made expressly for the purpose to be skimmed and money siphoned to the insiders. These aren't "mistakes" or "stupidity"... no, they are deliberate crimes.
🚨 #BREAKING: Elon Musk just exposed the federal government spent almost $1 BILLION on a short survey asking whether or not people like National Parks
This is disgusting.
“We routinely encounter a waste of a billion dollars or more. Casually. This 10 question survey could’ve been done with Survey Monkey for $10,000. The government was being charged almost a billion dollars for that.,” Elon said.
It’s like the government was so careless with our money that dropping a billion on any program was a no brainer. Having zero oversight or controls has led to a huge amount of waste, loss, and graft. And we’re still in the beginning stages of identifying this.
Or less, but your point is very valid. The government today is all about "kickbacks" and laundering the money. This criminal activity must stop and they, the criminals, must be charged and tried. This is much worse than the MAFIA in their hey-day.
Everything is money laundering. How did AOC come into congress with out a pot to piss in and window to throw it out and now she's worth tens of millions of dollars?
Morons. It probably would have cost an hour's worth of time to make a few phone calls to various park entrances to find out how many people have come through the gates, or in the case of Yellowstone, how long is the line of cars.
It ain't "waste"......it's graft. Waste is a careless "mistake".....graft is a mistake of convenience to a certain chosen few...

Or it's one of the money trails leading to the ballot mules - after the required payment of management fees.

Gosh, makes one wonder if maybe the money was really earmarked to go "somewhere else"

Who needs to ask this question? Are there no people visiting the parks??

I'd like to see the National Parks sold to private developers.
As they are, we don't need them; we don't want them.
But in the future: housing, farming, mining, industry- the uses are endless.
