I'm sorry, we don't have shared assumptions. I'll be explicit about mine. It's a Pentagon contact. It's completely corrupt from top to bottom. Being involved suggests criminality. You may think differently, of course and good luck. Who paid the bigger bribes? Who made the right promises in future job offers? Who can put the most pressure on to make people afraid for their jobs? No way a contract that big goes on merit. Zero chance. Have you ever seen Washington IT up close? It's utterly sickening and the Pentagon is the very worst offender. Hi Oracle! No you should still not exist.
So why do you think Bezos thinks making this speech, devoid of content but a pledge of alliance to the Pentagon is a worthwhile investment of the time of the world's richest man? Consider travel time etc as well.
Why does he even want this contract at all because it's clear he does.
