Having given millions and millions to GOP and GOP officials while claiming to be middle moderate ($5m in 2016 to Marco) LE et famille can enjoy cruising thru the summer. Money fixes everything except sun damage and time.

They can look all they want but everyone knows that there are only 2 clouds - Amazon and Microsoft. IBM is trying and may eventually be the third but Oracle's cloud is virtually non-existent and would never meet the specs for someone looking to have a real cloud presence. The only Oracle cloud customers are those who were already on-prem customers who get to stay on-prem with a discount because they bought the cloud. If they were actually using it, it would collapse given the inadequate infrastructure it's built on.
POTUS makes noise about looking into things, but this is not a priority for him - getting rejected and fighting with the Squad is. Plus, nobody on the WH has the knowledge and competence to take on the people in Pentagon, who contrary to some cheap comments, actually, really know what they’re doing and can distinguish between real cloud and LE’s junk in their sleep.

Pharma co’s may pay physicians to promote their d–gs; politicians not so much, but interesting though not at all surprising that some oracle ringer decided to argue in favor of Oracle’s corrupt practices
Buying politicians is what helps your products be successful. Anyone who says otherwise is unbearably naive. How do you think pharmaceutical d–gs are promoted?
When your product is c-ap, your strategy is to buy politicians
Maybe pick up crumbs from Microsoft table, LE. MS cloud knocked it out of the park last quarter. You will always be behind.
Not a bad life. Cruising to Amalfi Coast, SC getting DJT to talk smack, congress fussing... it's GOOD to be king!
Oracle won't get it. They don't meet the minimum requirements. This increases Microsoft's chances though.
No Oracle partnership, no reason for MS to do that.
