Obviously we can't have a perfect world, but vendors get fired all the time. Contracts go up for renewel, a new administration fires old vendors, etc. Public sector unions are eternal and only get worse over time.

As far as "connections" go, Theranos is imploding right now even with its deep government and military connections.

Those connections likely made money and are also very likely immune from the current shit storm.

That's opinion not fact. Fact is no federal public sector union has ever eliminated itself, yet there's a long history of the government firing vendors.
