Prime content for /r/im14andthisisdeep right here. It easily cost microsoft more than $1MM just to put together the proposal alone, much less fight for it in front of technical audits and careful scrutiny of every part of the project. Did you not read the article, which made clear just how much scrutiny is being applied to this deal? Do you think someone can just hand out a million dollar check and be given $22B of work without being qualified?

Not to nitpick but your post would stand on its own without the insult in the first sentence.

  Is having a disrespectful tone against the rules? Do I have to respect a conspiratorial comment as anything more than a shallow attempt to sow distrust against the government? I posted a critical comment that pointed out a significant flaw in his logic and I personally believe that it is indeed prime content for /r/im14andthisisdeep due to OP’s shallow attempt to understand how the world of government contracts and their callous disregard for any evidence to back up their musings
