Americans no longer have to pay for lucrative contracts outsourcing plant-watering and something called an “enterprise mail management program”: “The VA cancelled a $56,000 contract to water ~8 plants for 5 years. This is ~$1400/plant/year. The contract has been canceled and DOGE will water the plants free of charge.”
