>>106138560>most of the customers i worked with were not government contractorsYou only need one.
Red Hat is indeed a company that only exists on government gibs.
They don't exist because they have a quality product or good service, they exist because the government forces its corporations to buy their contracts.
>also, what an idiotic claimThe US government is massive. Everybody who comes from any other country and gains insights into the USA, will tell you that the US government has far more corporate outreach than anyone else. Probably even more than the CPC.
A corporation in China needs to employ some dude who acts as speaker and contact person for the CPC.
A corporation in the USA is forced by the government into what software it uses, the racial composition of what they are allowed to hire, from what country they are allowed to buy, a blacklist of whom they are allowed to do business with (internally!), is forced to "donate" to political campaigns and to hire ex-politicians.
When the vax mandate for government employees and contractors in the USA happened, suddenly a HUGE percentage of Americans either had to take the vax or get fired.
This showed you just how fucking communist your free capitalist society is.
