Once you get the government involved, you don't need to win the market.

People don't realize how insane the government is. They could purchase the 5 largest companies on the S&P....every single year forever. When that kind of money is involved, they override the will of the people.

I think most people are unaware of how much the U.S. government gives to big tech both with and without reporting it. The money makers in the headlines the past few years all do business with the Pentagon (and more), including intelligence work and technology development.
