between 2014-17 when it was paid $27.5 million to reduce violence at the jail complex on Rikers Island—only to report “bogus” numbers as the problem worsened
Ah precious consultants…
I should go into consulting. Make millions, do a shit job, walk away. Repeat.
I bet they paid kickbacks for those contracts.
Straight male here.
Mamdani’s policies make me hard!
Damn, Mamdani still be bringing that campaigning rizz even in office
what’s a better campaign than having your time in office be a constant stream of praise?
I’m surprised NYC outsourced its entire IT. If it were a town of 25k that might make sense, but not one of the largest governments in the world.
They are big enough to hire OS devs and run their own Linux distro
Dealing with government contracts, a lot of governments prefer to outsource some activities when the private market can provide these services. The idea is that it makes it easier to fire individual non-performers.
The real idea is that it shift liability for issues from the politicians to private companies who aren’t beholden to anyone.
Not really. Politicians have a lot of control over those contacts and they are written to benefit the government.
Of course they do but reality shows us that they point the finger at the company and the media goes along with it. There always needs to be the facade of plausible deniability.
