Vulture funds are investors is a fact.

Maybe they should be honest and call them "Our Mistakes".

Honest Government. Now there's a novelty.

I presume anyone who has a non-state funded pension, and lucky you if you do, has no objection to being called a vulture.

Not sure what you mean.
I doubt very much that pension funds are benefitting from the type of government mistakes we're talking about here, despite media reporting that might suggest otherwise.
Lucky is having a pension you didn't contribute to but good look to you, just don't moan about the "sacrifices" you're making.

Invited to tender, bit of leg work. Submit proposal November, a €3m project would be a good way to start 2017 detail detail detail. Shortlist of 2, tender addendum, quick turn around but awesome solution. 250 pages of succinct project specifics produced in this period including a slight alteration to the methodology that realised about €70k in saving. Design team make the recommendation to proceed with us, project goes to competitor. Get the opportunity to meet the company board, they've only seen the original price. Cost to my business about €15k and 3 other opportunities that I sidelined.

Proof that people who don't understand solutions shouldn't make decisions on them.
