The good news is that because of cronyism and affirmative action the government no longer goes with the lowest bidder. For instance a “minority owned” company gets a 5% bonus, they can be 4% higher than your bid and still be the winner.

Of course today the government hires the most incompetent companies for contracts. Take CGI Federal for instance.

Oh! I guess that makes all my fears go away then :)

So what you're really saying here is that it might be possible that the glass was installed by a minority bidder. And, probably not being sanctioned to the usual safety checks offs (again, preference based), the glass could break on a 'cat pounce' and little Marshall is toast.

I guess next we'll be told that little Marshall's parents will get a bill for the broken glass. :)
