It wasn’t lowest bid, either. It was the most expensive human endeavor in history to that point in time. I thought it best to approach Mike’s comment with humor.
Mike painted with a wide brush when he made the comment about government, lowest bidder, WWII, and companies who only had the government as a customer for four years. Many, many companies produced no consumer goods during those four years. Wilton was a new company, and likely was told everything they could produce was spoken for, until the war ended. While times likely were as good as they could be, during the war, it is a known fact that the government sold much of what Wilton had produced for pennies on the dollar after the war, and nearly destroyed the Wilton company.
Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas. The biggest dogs are in government.
