Do you work in the tech industry?

Ever used a computer running an Intel or AMD processor?

Ever worked at a company with Microsoft Windows or enterprise Linux servers (IBM RedHat)?

Ever connected to the internet or a cell tower? They use Cisco, Qualcomm, Broadcom, etc technology.

Almost all large tech companies in the US and tons of smaller startups have active contracts with the DoD/DHS/DoE or with contractors and suppliers for them.

Congratulations, you're part of the defense industry. Last I checked, most of my coworkers and and peers voted blue, like most other people in the Bay Area.

i dont work in the tech industry, so try again. either way your argument is pedantic as i think most people understand defense contractors to be mostly manufacturing and tech related to it. if you want the definition to include people who use computers you do you
