We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses

Let’s hope the military isn’t paying for fancy fuses what they paid for toilet seats on Air Force One. Who has better fuses, the military or NASA or audiophiles? Do guys tanks listen to high end systems whilst driving around on maneuvers? Does Air Force One have a high end sound system?

If anyone has ever worked on either side of the military procurement process, they know how much they (we) overpay for everything.

As I mentioned, I used to produce electronic raw material formulations.  My boss once explained to me how to price a new material I developed.  The same material would become multiple products, all aimed at different markets.  China price was 100x less. Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia cost 10x less.  North America industry carried the baseline pricing.  Europe, Israel, and Australia cost 10x more.  US government, including FBI cost 100x more.  US military was 1000x higher.  This happened in the days following the news about the hammers, toilet seats, etc., and my boss was adamant and utterly unapologetic.  I'm a bit surprised I didn't go over the line, and earn a free ride to jail that day

Definitely disappointing when (some) gents can’t remain focused on the positive aspects of a topic :(
