But, on the other hand it’s not. The government is a virtual monopsony. One customer has unappealing requirements and you can choose not to serve them. The federal government saying don’t hire c devs will hurt c devs. C devs will be understandably dismayed by this.
But this differs from the above statement that specifically referred to "government-related business". The "business" part implies a contract but it doesn't mean all non-govt contracts need to follow suit.
