Kind of makes you wonder just what those people were buying, doesn’t it?

“Kind of makes you wonder just what those people were buying, doesn’t it?”

When defense companies donate they give the candidate a sales talk on their product that they either want to sell or want to keep selling. The candidate enthusiastically says he’ll support them. The deal, probably with nothing more than the understanding that future money depends on this support, is struck.

A company we were competing against moved their plant to the district of a powerful committee chair. Their product was a silly expansive way of making commercial technology work in military equipment called “spray cooling.” During a televised hearing the chair was flustered by my company’s backed politician. The chair fluttered his hands and sputtered, “b-but this spray cooling thing is the way to go.” He didn’t care stripping all the commercial heat sinks off and making it so the equipment only worked when it was in a sealed environment with toxic chemicals made it impossible to troubleshoot the electronics. All he cared about was his money.
