3. Nobody would like the alternative.

Instead of being outbid, the vendor would merely be directed to ship the supplies someplace else.

Everybody assumes that since they perceive their needs as the greatest (being close to something always makes it seem bigger) their needs would certainly win.

I think that subsidiarity is a notion that is completely unfamiliar to most DUers, either in its religious or secular guise, and therefore the entire framework that a large portion of the law and the populace uses seems like complete and total nonsense or mere inchoate caprice.

4. *cough* Working towards the fuhrer *cough*

[Phoenix61]

5. It's the plan. This is why it took so long

for the WH to do anything. Twitler etal were trying to figure out how to turn this into a cash cow. They seem to have been successful. Not a corner of hell hot enough.
