We pay tax and invest it in the armed forces as an insurance scheme - surely we should be looking at the technological and industrial elements of that insurance as being at least as important as the others?
Perhaps the problem is that in order to create something stable, a lot of companies have been squashed into a few huge ones and with that goes the customer's ability to bargain or change suppliers.
