In fact, the number of full-time federal workers has been relatively static, within a few hundred thousand civilians, since the 1960s. ... [C]ontractors frequently end up costing the government more money. -- Zachary B. Wolf/2024 [ya know, like The Musk Ox]
See you next week in a brand new show©Heckle and Jeckle
In a time of SSD, multi-core/processor, two terabyte memory and Optane App Direct Mode machines, there is no reason not to

- Been doing databases, both relational and others, as well as operations research since Hector was a Pup.
Shameless Plug
I know a little something about SQL, DB2 (preferably LUW, z/OS if the money's right), Oracle, SQL Server, Postgres, and database design in general. Mentoring/teaching/consulting on a short term basis, too. And a bit of stat analysis if it's R.
