Why am I not surprised?
Why am I not surprised? This is just the vertical integration of the corporate war profiteering that has been the hallmark of this administration.
While I would not argue that select privatization of government functions is necessarily any more certain to failure than a completely incompetent government, few would argue that the relationship between the administration and numerous firms from the military / industrial complex pass any kind of smell test. This is big business, no doubt. I've seen numerous college course offerings directly on this topic, as if this is just another form of venture capital that can only run out when the printing presses stop. Yet, this remains largely unchallenged by our political leaders or much of the general public, as if people are resigned to open corruption being just a natural part of the way society works.
