so you agree, then tell X you ran out of money and are closing down the program. faced with choosing to lose a decade plus of progress or letting you out of that clause is no choice at all
- jorvi 10y agoWhy not? You can't shutter the program because you're contractually obliged for X to deliver. At that point you either eat the cost and deliver or your company is destroyed by fines and/or bankruptcy. And again: sure, those types of contracts would be harsher than the current situation, but they're still so juicy I can't imagine companies not going for them. Currently it seems to just be a huge money tap for whatever contractor gets them, without any amount of oversight or accountability/liability.
