As a small business owner, I say... this is the truth! It is absolutely

 That's a discussion I had with the company president several times. One of
the VPs was always chasing the big sales. My argument was a company like
Lockheed Martin could win the bid, fuck it up completely, get sued, and
shrug it off; we couldn't.
 That came to realization when Lockheed won the bid for an emergency
dispatch system for the City of London. They failed to deliver, were sued
for breach of contract and non-performance, and went on to their next
scam.
