Amazon charges ‘bias’ in Pentagon cloud contract

There can't be a connection between constant attacks by Bezo's Washington Post on non-Antifa government and Bezo's Amazon contacts?

[Asia Times] Amazon on Thursday challenged the awarding of a $10 billion Pentagon cloud computing contract to Microsoft, alleging “unmistakable bias” in the process.

The 10-year contract for theJoint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure program, better known as JEDI, ultimately will see all military branches sharing information in a system boosted by artificial intelligence.

“It’s critical for our country that the government and its elected leaders administer procurements objectively and in a manner that is free from political influence,” a spokesperson for Amazon Web Services said.

Like Bezo's Wapo is free of political influence?

#2 Better the chinese have to go to the effort of hacking it.

Bezos would probably give antifa sys-admin rights.

#7 Microsoft are more professional than any slacks and spectacles bunch of techno yuppies out there. For decades they've produced reliable, feasible software solutions and support to most govts the world over.

Amazon is run by lickspittle political hacks, it could be populated by an unknown number of unhinged elements from the left. What happens when a 'concerned' systems admin goes woke and halts a critical launch, throws a spanner into target acquisition networks, if someone from the company holds the network to ransom over secret info, leaks info to the MSM...

#8 An unmentioned part of all this is that Amazon is currently under investigation for various anti-trust violations, while Microsoft is not... at least not anymore. The federal government could easily have chosen not to place a bid with a company whose activities are under active investigation.

#9 Amazon's business model is based on illegal predatory pricing.
