    I am in the SATCOM industry. The industry has been facing consolidation for well over 2 decades thanks to the wireless (cellular) industry and now Starlink is accelerating the process faster than ever. An acquisition or retirement of the business is inevitable and additionally, legacy is loaded with boomers who are on the cusp of retirement.

    The immediate issue is that federal contracts have been tied up in legal for well over two years. The word on the street is that the federal government program office is inept and nobody knows what is going on. This is all pre-Trump. Initially we were very concerned with DOGE cutting personal. Big job programs move along without a hitch as they have lobbyist who insure the money flows. Small companies and the end users are left w/out a voice. Apparently this is a systemic issue across the board.

    The Nazis prioritized their own people above all others. Prioritizing your family and friends is natural and acceptable. The methods you use and their consequences are what matter. Those who disregard basic human dignity won't be swayed by economic arguments.

    Sure, blame the previous admin without providing any specifics while Trump guts agencies and cuts back on everything not tied to the billionaire class. If your company fired you today it couldn't have happened to a shittier person although I'm pretty sure you're just making a work story up at this point.

    I am sure you're a good person and I wish you the best, despite our differences of opinions.
