As I said in another article, US money + US law => US corporation.

You want a Brit company to get the contract, fork over the money.

Money => control. You can't be on a "salary" from the government
and work for yourself. You're working for the government, dumb
donkey.

I'll bet there are facility specifications that the doctor has to

That in itself is an idle insult, since you assume that it is blind.

Not at all. It's quite clear that you do not believe that anybody who
disagrees with you can have possibly come to their conclusion by thought,
but rather must be blindly following someone/thing else.

No, it is nothing more than dismissiveness. In that way, you are no
different than JoeBlow.

So you're saying it's a stock insult you've used for years to dismiss
others' points of view.

Lying hypocrite. You insult people more than anyone else in this
discussion, save JoeBlow.

Gutless lying hypocrite.
