Trump Admin Gives $10 Billion Cloud Computing Project To Microsoft | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 20250509  United States10/26/2019 02:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to dailycaller.com (secure)] Quoting: The Deplorable Mechanic 50% The Trump administration tossed a curveball Friday at Amazon and awarded a $10 billion cloud contract the company was expecting to land to one of the tech titan’s biggest competitors, Microsoft. Amazon had long been considered a front-runner for the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI. The decision came after President Donald Trump, a critic of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, instructed the Department of Defense in August to put the contract on hold. “This contract will address critical and urgent unmet warfighter requirements for modern cloud infrastructure at all three classification levels delivered out to the tactical edge,” the DOD noted in a statement Friday after the announcement. Amazon said it was surprised at the result, which took months to happen. “AWS is the clear leader in cloud computing, and a detailed assessment purely on the comparative offerings clearly led to a different conclusion,” Drew Herdener, a spokesman for the company, told reporters. Amazon will continue to be at the forefront of battle-readiness, he added. It doesn't surprise me, considering Bezos owns the WaPo and publishes daily hit pieces on POTUS Trump. Bezos is the poster child of a sociopath. He's greedy and only cares about profit. Remember last week an Amazon warehouse employee laid dead (heart attack) on an Amazon distribution center floor 20 mins before anyone responded. Yet this same employee was previously reprimanded for taking a 2 min bathroom break. Bezos needs to die a slow and painful death. He reminds me of Lex Luther or Dr. Evil.  That's true but you do know the MS stands for in MSNBC right? Amazon and microsoft are both doing hit piece son trump 24/7 I was wondering when someone was going to bring this up. The only reason Trump fans (of which I am one) are cheering this decision is because Bezos own WaPo. Microsoft ran the website and NBC the TV. Of course, I believe MS has nothing to do with MSNBC anymore. Everyone at MS on the top is a power hungry multi national globalist piece of shit. So, what the hell is the difference? At least the pentagon didn't give $10 billion to google, so there is that. |

They can suck on it! Quoting: bigD111  Yes, cause Microsoft is the good guy. They wouldn't allow deep state spying on anything... It's a lesser of two evils situation. WTF would you do? There aren't merely two options? ' if you choose the lesser of two evils, and your party wins - you STILL get evil.' |

Amazons is little more than a glorified department store. Last Edited by Katipo on 10/26/2019 03:54 PM Any sarcasm in this post is purely intentional. |

India has learned how to bypass the licensing requirement and your Doctors will be the people who will treat you what the computer tell them what to do. Computer based symptoms and treatment. If you have eye problems, they will take picture/video of it and send it to India or some place. etc. etc. Only the rich will see the real Doctors. It is already happening. Americans are sleeping sound. |
