You have to recalibrate how dumb things can be because it's the government, frankly, it's like dumber than you think it could possibly be. So, for example, We found there were a whole bunch of what I call ghost payments going out where the government contracting officer had retired or changed jobs or was dead or I don't know, they were not around anymore and they forgot to turn off the payment stream to some company. And it's like leaving the money faucet on and you leave the house and it's just the money faucet keeps going. And it's a pretty rare organization that will complain about receiving money.
