Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

It would be immensely useful to mention what country you're talking about, because while this issue may exist in every nation, it also may not.
If nothing else, it would be nice to know what region your insider info comes from :-) Spain?
He's mentioning Arizona, so I guess he's from the US.
The US, but it's all subcontracted. Think this summer alone I have worked on orders to Vietnam, Australia, Canada, UK, Kuwait, Iraq, and the US.
Spain I have sent only two systems to but your neighbor to the west is going to upgrade a recycling operation next month. Which is probably going to be us. Shrug. I am really not the one you should be worried about, I am the subcontractor. If my stuff doesn't work it becomes my problem. It is the middleman and the people in your local government who are messing everything up.
I have little confidence in that upcoming order next month. Already seeing stuff that is bothering me in the RFQ specs. Glad my tax dollars aren't paying for it. On the bright side the people of Portugal are going to be given a lot of money to a certain German based multinational.
