@danjac@masto.ai @ChrisMayLA6 at least part of the problem is it’s extremely hard to do business with the government. You need to be able to have staff who can answer the questions on contracts and be able to pay their salary for years on end before you can actually make any money. This tends to mean that the big guys are the only ones who can afford to do that business.

It also means that the government tends to pay a huge premium to make it worth their while.
