A friend back in the days was all of the view that the entire NASA thing was a huge scam to siphon billions from the common man. He argued his case based on how the war machine does this and that is just another version of the same finesse.

One of the most interesting things that came from that conversation was about Jack Parsons who dabbled in a few strange things and was quite instrumental to all of this as well as the better known Nazi links.

He's not off base. I've seen it from the inside. The love of money is the root of all manner of evil. Made war into a money making scheme. Of course they are doing the same with space related work. The Space Force.

being a minority woman gets you farther with federal contracts. it's a lot of cac small businesses that scam by having a service-disabled bw as the nominal owner so they can compete for various pots of money set aside just for us.

This is well known especially in the military. I used to buy supplies for my squadron and it was basically understood that you had to spend every cent of your allocated money before the end of the fiscal year regardless if you actually needed anything or not. Because if you didn't spend it the would give you less next year since you obviously didn't need it. The worst part was that we were contractually obligated to buy it from only one place and the mark up was usually 2-4 times what a normal person would pay. Just a gross misuse of funds...

On paper, there’s a reason why there’s probably more CACS pretending to be minorities than actual minorities.
