I think the point is more "form meet stupid rules that make you car have a dick face because the FIA is ineffective at regulating a sport where the engineers on the teams are leagues smarter than those making the formula each season." But it is what it is I guess.

As I said earlier, you don't understand. We've attempted to enlighten you (having worked directly with this process and knowing intimately how it works) on how it works, but you still demonstrate a clear lack of understanding. I don't think anyone will try any further to educate you on the matter.

If you read cardboardarmor's post, he outlines it pretty well. It's not so much a "program to counter waste" as much as it's just the normal lifecycle of all things bought by the government.

Man, if my 14-year-old self had spent more time contemplating how I could support the local economy instead of dodging homework...
