This actually makes me feel a little bit better: it’s not me specifically they’re passive-aggressively refusing to cover, they’re just incompetent.

After Phoenix, you’d think that anyone taking on a government contract would make sure they’re adequately staffed to handle the workload.

After Phoenix, they realized they don't have to.

I'm going to attribute some of that to greedy contractors who will absolutely milk gov't contracts while often providing low -quality results, however I wouldn't be surprised if a decent part of this is also due to government staff not knowing what the fuck they want and constantly "amending" the scope of the work

... is pretty darn common across the board. I've never done any government contracting but I find it hard to imagine that it could be worse than the private sector.
