that's literally what it is. why else mention other failures than to soften the blow of the current failure in front of you. that's an excuse to me. anything else is pedantics

> Are you saying they should have rushed it? Is PHI data being leaked because they rushed it not consequential?

huh? this is simply a domain transfer. In a non-idiotic world, the actual entity in charge of VA data (i.e the Dept of V.A) is doing data due diligence. the other entity doesn't need to care about this. what makes the Dept Of Labor the arbiters of PHI of veterans? And, even if they happen to be, why can't the VA become their own arbiters? Why not offload that power to make things move faster? To me, a needless example of bureaucracy. I can already imagine certain govt workers wielding this fake power to slow everything down to ensure their own survival
