I'm receiving reports from Indiana something is seriously wrong.
Hospitals are filling up with flu A patients on ventilators.

I wonder why Musk is focused on the federal civilian workforce (4% of the budget) and not federal contractors, which account for 3x more annual spending and are more prone to waste, fraud, and abuse?
