David Byrne’s blog reads like the voiceover from True Stories:
November 28
The Military Industrial Complex
Lockheed is the nation's largest military contractor.
Lockheed writes more code than Microsoft.
Their CEO says they stand ‘at the intersection of policy and technology.’
To others that means you can't tell where the government ends and Lockheed starts. One watchdog says about government checks and balances on big contractors ‘The fox isn't guarding the henhouse, he lives there.’
If Wal Mart were a nation it would be ranked 19th biggest economically. It is the biggest company in the United States.
