    It would be immensely useful to mention what country you’re talking about, because while this issue may exist in every nation, it also may not.

    If nothing else, it would be nice to know what region your insider info comes from :-) Spain?

      The US, but it’s all subcontracted. Think this summer alone I have worked on orders to Vietnam, Australia, Canada, UK, Kuwait, Iraq, and the US.

      Spain I have sent only two systems to but your neighbor to the west is going to upgrade a recycling operation next month. Which is probably going to be us. Shrug. I am really not the one you should be worried about, I am the subcontractor. If my stuff doesn’t work it becomes my problem. It is the middleman and the people in your local government who are messing everything up.

      I have little confidence in that upcoming order next month. Already seeing stuff that is bothering me in the RFQ specs. Glad my tax dollars aren’t paying for it. On the bright side the people of Portugal are going to be given a lot of money to a certain German based multinational.
