    A long time ago I worked for a company that made computers. They explained why government contracts were so profitable. In the days they’d sell a 486/66 computer spec. The government would agree to those terms for 3 or 5 years.

    The first batch you lost money on but over time you made a lot of profit. In 3 years the government was paying the same cost but your cost was 1/4.
