There isn’t a shortage, they’re just trying to drive down wages.

I’ve noticed that prices on amazon will fluctuate if I price compare on other websites. It will dynamically price match if I find an item cheaper somewhere else online.

my guess is they want to replace the gov employees and programs with contracts so money can be funneled to cronies

Not being done at scale? That is blatantly false. The program needs to end. American workers are being undermined.

The problem as I see it is the politicians and media stoking the flames of any controversial issue they can for profit. This ‘issue’ is an excellent example.

Does anyone know of any studies on how the proliferation of MBA degrees has affected universities in this way, or other industries in similar ways? That is, the ballooning of administrative roles to the detriment of the student/consumer and core employees who produce the real value for a company/university/etc?
