      There is no "Palmer industry", as it said it's simply behaving as a startup tech company but fully involved with the military as its customers. And "what makes them where they are" tends to involve a lot of disregard for safety/practicality of their products. "move fast and break things" is also known as "being reckless".

And also a pioneering Aviator , Movie Director, Producer, Studio Owner, Casino Magnet , Hotelier, Airplane Designer, Airplane Builder, Owner of Airline TWA, Sole Owner of Defense Contractor Hughes Aircraft, Owner of Las Vegas main TV Station (because he didn't like their late night programming , & movies, so he bought it, to show whatever he wanted to see). And ofcourse owner of the company
      that started it all and made everything possible Hughes Tool Co. A smallish company he inherited at 18 after both his parents died, he Made it many many bigger. Eventually the richest man in America in 1970s, until he died in 1978. I liked him because he was crazy ,& eccentric , and still accomplished everything he did. Risked his life flying his compainies prototype airplanes first, instead of risking life of a stunt pilot. He felt he designed the planes, if it fails , he deserved the consequences. Palmer lucky reminds me of him a little, but Hughes was another level crazy & eccentric, & still successful.

Why is everyone wearing fun outfits and acting playful? Is there an inside joke I’m not getting? Do we not understand the obvious implications of this technology finding its way into the wrong hands? Why aren’t we having thorough discussions about the ethics of war in conjunction with these cute little military show and tells? It seems others are more comfortable with the psychological detachment…

This has been a clear failure for the past twenty years. We should have spent time, money, improving the education and quality of life in Mexico, if we wanted to save money in manufacturing.
