I remember an outboard motor I was working on once, from the factory didn't have an air cleaner on the carburettor. |

But, it gets good public money! Money that comes out of nowhere (I could have been less polite!) Hot air, financed by hot air, what's not to like? :-DD |

That is the thing, isn't it? Hype it up, get some grants etc. Spank the money of posh meals and a good PR. Get more money, and make a product that doesn't work. Go bust, meanwhile, you have had "business" trips to conferences and meetings with potential customers. Oh and pay yourself handsomely for all the excellent PR work that has been done. Rinse and repeat. |
