[QUOTE="Oerdin, post: 259395, member: 128"] So the city of San Francisco spent $16.1 million to buy 262 tents off of Amazon. The tents retail for $45 each. That means, before sales tax, the gross price for the tents was $11,790. The remaining $16,088,210 was all government overhead and contractor costs. So basically the city government paid $61,450.38 per tent on tents you can buy off of Amazon for $45. [MEDIA=youtube]EVrBnOZzIRY[/MEDIA] Even if you count so called "wrap around services" which doesn't really do much for anyone other than to drain money from taxpayers to politically connected organizations this is just outrageous.
