I waited for about 2 years for nothing

The term for that we use for that in my factory is called ITAR compliance. No component no matter how stupid, needs to be made in the U.S. It is what easily creates the $600 toilet seat or the $200 wrench.

But hey, if you are a U.S. gov’t purchasing agent, they aren’t your personal funds, $2K is chump change for a phone, another $2K probably just goes into the overhead of writing a purchase order, so get a thousand for at a cost of 2 million. You’ll get a good performance evaluation because your overhead was only point five percent of the purchase.
