Oh c'mon. Blame it on Washington is no answer. When political bs starts into enginerring institutions my suspects are: - companies have too much money to burn - company organizational maturity has cratered focusing too much on outside noise - boards have become lost / distracted ... line engineers, tls, middle level engineers who actually get things done don't have the luxury of being pretty boys on tv talking ** or meeting lobbyists and expensive steak places on the company dime - eventual customer dissatisfaction and financial stress to come - corporate boards if they had any brains would keep moat between them and Washington - getting / controlling business on the cheap through gov hook ups ... is what? Were we supposed to applaud the flex there?
