But the bureaucracy is sometimes for good reason (usually driven by Congressional mandate). What people need to do is learn to work within (and around) the bureaucracy. That's key to the government market. There is a reason for the way it is, and you need to learn to work with it instead of fighting against it.
I'm not sure you're understanding really how the system works, which is exactly what I was pointing out in my statement. I never said "guaranteed" - I said "stable". There is ALWAYS risk of losing the customer and the government can terminate at any time for almost any reason. But if you perform, then you can maintain the same customer for a decade or more.
This is how the system works and it works this way for a reason. There is more accountability in the government market than people realize - moreso than in most commercial transactions even.

- Barrin92 7y agoTake a look around the world and look at the average state of governance and you will find a lot of appreciation for American bureaucracy. And it is indeed independent bureaucracies that are responsible for making agencies and institutions run. Bureaucracy gets a bad name in many places, but the alternative to bureaucracy isn't just automatic improvement, it's most often politicization. Which is significantly worse.
