Further proof the US doesn't have Capitalism and free markets. It has Crony Capitalism and a foundation of a financial system that plays favorites.

I'm surprised anyone is surprised.

The US does have capitalism. Crony capitalism is capitalism - it's right there in the name.

Nah. That's part of the subversion. That's part of the marketing. That's part of the ruse.

That's the irony. It's not Capitalism. Not even close.

This has been the case. It's just expanding.

Often times you'll find former members of the military or government start a `private` firm, just to turn around and use the connections they made to land a government contract, or two.

It's only a bad thing if you're one of the hundreds of millions of people not invited to the party and cut out of the deals because you didn't know the right people.

I don't see the problem? /s
