https://www.linkedin.com/in/isaacbarnes https://www.linkedin.com/in/isaacbarnes What have they / he done other than get awarded the contract? No offense intended, I welcome any contenders to the Gov Ring! It sure beats Safra Katz / Oracle / Amazon / Google being whiney little bitches about not winningg the Pentagon-Pork JEDI contract. The existing players are all Pathetic. Their clouds are crap, rife with outrages and cost cuts.

A crypto hawk that is pre declaring his candidacy for president of US. He is so right we (US) are not working together, combined. I find it interesting that the only websites that mention his business are race based (ie,https://theblackwallsttimes.com/2022/06/21/black-owned-tech-firm-awarded-billion-dollar-military-defense-contract/ https://theblackwallsttimes.com/2022/06/21/black-owned-tech-..., https://www.blackbusiness.com/2022/06/isaac-barnes-black-entrepreneur-awarded-13-billion-dollar-defense-contract.html https://www.blackbusiness.com/2022/06/isaac-barnes-black-ent..., etc) but i guess thats unfortunately how it is. Further, I am unable to find the contract on defense.gov but it looks like this was likely awarded a bit ago. I wish him the best and hope he is as devoted to diversification as the linkedin account claims. further, the web source is garbage, i havent found a link on the site that isnt redirecting or bait-and-switching. If I were this guy Id find better outlets ... the company just got $13+B ... you can spend a couple bucks on good publicizing. LOL, this got downvoted on HN? Was I too open to maybe? Is this reddit now? Let us see your complaint.

Still wondering why im downvoted ... it takes someone that has been lurking here a while to have enough cred to downvote. Just remember downvotes dont equal voice, youre just mad and dont have the words to justify it.

  lol, even more downvotes and no replies ... a lot of silent opinions that dont want scrutinization. HN better fix this before it loses credibility.
