A huge portion of that is the program management consultants and what I call Science and Technology welfare. PM consultants are mostly feeding into the powerpoint demand and financial management the government employees don't know how or want to do. S&T welfare is a straight grift with former military buddies with massive kickbacks to the top five contractors built in.
I'm very late to the comment party here, so TL;DR someone may already have said this, BUTit's standard practice--and a sensible marketing move---to name one's utility company "Acme Utility" or say if you provide water, then "United Water", or if gas and electricity are your thing then PSE&G (Electricity & Gas) or LILCO (Long Island Lighting Company) or even Con Edison because Edison was in the DC electricity biz and tried to con people into thinking that Tesla's AC was UGH!THE WORST!)---what I'm saying here is that the name of the gas/electric power company provides a CLUE as to what business that company is all about, and where its expertise lies.
So... if there's a company called, say, Cobra Acquisitions, it's....well it's as if your A/C wasn't working properly so you hire Joe's Alligator Nursery to come and fix it, because when you called him and asked him if he knew how air-conditioners work he said "sure" and then you said "great I'll give you $.1.8 billion to look at my A/C and just assume the whole 'alligator' thing is mere whimsy--and then Joe comes over and literally just looks at your busted A/C, and collects his money.
What I'm saying is... the clue is in the name---"Cobra Acquisitions"; they either collect cobras, or they are slithery venomous financial opportunists.
Still the important thing is that we've all learned that words are interesting, but not really.
I Am Not An Electrical Engineer™ (first time I've had to say that outside work!), but most of my friends in college were, and I picked up some things via osmosis.
Think of voltage as analogous to water pressure, current as analogous to water flow, and wattage as a analogous to the force of moving water.
A deliberately-set Amazon rainforest fire.
They're also being used to soak up all the water damage from the Alabama hurricane.
Damn. Kirk gets all the tail, even the FEMA officers.
She just wants to settle down and have a small family of a few hundred little tribbles.
This is hilarious.
