This is why I work for the army (not the US!). They offered me a permanent contract. I've been fighting for funding for the past 30 years and it's become pretty much impossible. My last job was supposed to become permanent and the government cut funding after 2 years instead.

Not doing anything explodey, by the way, just researching how to deal with mass emergency events.

Something something disaster capitalism. You have my sympathy, I sometimes fill on Natural Disaster classes.
