- morkalork 2y agoThere's a couple places in the book Skunk Works where the author laments the government's procurement strategy for planes that always ensured different manufacturers got at least some contracts so they wouldn't go out of business and leave the government reliant on just one supplier. He derided it as a form of socialism! Alas, it was a reasonable approach.
