The sensible reason would be to bring in someone to assist in complicated plans that are a one off but that is apparently not the case.

Spent some time skiing with a Consultant for one of the large firms that is global in reach (my father’s friends son). Won’t name it. I did not mention my political beliefs hoping he would speak freely.

Points he got across:
-Government hiring was not efficient or focused on merit. Hiring for hiring sake.
-Consultants brought in to actually run sections of the Government as the Departments were direction-less
-spending out of control and there was lots of no-bid contracts
-there is an agenda that will not age well (I assumed it was the WEF)

He said we are in serious trouble if this continues. He liked what he is hearing coming from DOGE.
I could tell he was guarded in his speech as he likes his career and did not want to jeopardize it.
