The only way to stop this is to entirely cease allowing companies that use contractors and subcontractors on military projects.

Otherwise what is going to happen is the military will sign a contract with Lockheed who will outsource part of it to IBM who will off-shore part of that to India who will outsource part of that work to another subcontractor who uses people in China and Vietnam.

Comment Gemini is far more transparent on this vs ChatGPT (Score 1) 74
