Hmm… Sounds like fraud, waste and abuse to me. Quick! Somebody call DOGE!

    Same with USPS and dumping all the new electric vehicles. It took them nearly 10 years to set requirements, get bids, choose a contractor, and then get them rolling out. Now they’re just going to dump them because electric vehicles are woke I guess. Meaning they either have to keep maintaining an aging fleet and/or have to start the same process all over again.

    The article doesn’t go into enough detail, but a lot of the USAF personnel systems already run on Salesforce platforms (MYFSS), and has been for several years now. Palantir also deployed a data connector between a lot of USAF systems including personnel data last year.

    I don’t know all of the details and it certainly looks sketchy, but if the cancelled project started 12 years ago and still isn’t delivered, they may simply be deciding to stop throwing good money after bad and integrate more things onto the platforms they already have and already use.
