@Geiger_Capital Hey broseph- respectfully, yes we can stop it. You cannot fly a drone inside the beltway near Washington DC. You can apply this anywhere in the country if we so chose.
English
Holy. Shit.
Unknown drones are now flying over our largest military bases on US soil. We can’t stop them.
It’s not an exaggeration to say we have been completely infiltrated at this point.

@AOC Don’t you support a degenerates right to choose? Seems odd based on your other political positions…

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽♀️
Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

Quick test: Can you explain what your company does in one sentence that a 5th grader would understand?

The Section 508 compliance trap that kills small contractors:
You bid on a project. Win it. Then discover the accessibility requirements are more complex than the actual scope of work.
Always budget 15-20% extra for 508 compliance. It's not optional and it's never simple.

The most valuable question in any government customer meeting:
"What would have to happen for this project to be considered a complete success?"
This reveals their real objectives beyond the written requirements. Build your solution around their definition of success.

Unpopular truth: Most small government contractors will never become large government contractors.
And that's okay. A profitable $5M/year business can be better than a chaotic $50M/year business.
Know what success looks like for you and don't let others define it.

The contractor behavior that government program managers hate most:
Going silent when there's a problem.
Bad news doesn't get better with age. Address issues immediately, propose solutions, and keep communication flowing. They'd rather have an honest partner than a perfect one.
English
Unpopular opinion: Small businesses don't need a GSA Schedule to win federal work.
Open market purchases under the SAT ($250K) are everywhere. Agencies use them constantly.
Stop waiting for your GSA Schedule to get approved. Start bidding now.

The federal government spent $759 billion on contracts in FY2025.
$759,000,000,000.
And most small businesses don't even know how to find opportunities on SAM.gov.
If you're a small business owner, the government is your most reliable customer. You just don't know it yet.

New administrations bring new priorities, but mission-critical work continues. Focus on capabilities that transcend political cycles: cybersecurity, IT modernization, financial management, healthcare systems. These endure regardless of who's in the White House.
