Isn’t that a byproduct/effect of capitalism? You could say the same thing about Walmart.

Classic Goverment / Army. Walmart. Taking a perfectly thing and finding the absolute worst supplier that will make it for the bottom of the barrel lowest price.

Lol... How much the contractor got paid for this slop tho

A couple hundred thousand at least, plus setup, on boarding and monthly maintenance fees if I could take a guess.
