perfil de filtrado. Sería interesante ver que "alcance". Aquí vemos
un par de cosas sucediendo, una sola mano, el contratista en este caso como
todos los otros negocios se preocupa por ganar dinero y, francamente, ¿hay
nada malo en ello. Esperamos que las empresas se comporten de esa manera, ¿no?
Sin embargo, lo que tal vez no puede esperar es que el Gobierno de los EE.UU. a través de
el PTO EE.UU. para seleccionar un contratista que es conocido por ayudar a los sirios
desde la captura de los disidentes, etc O me estoy perdiendo algo??
Como siempre Carlton, me encantan tus posts :)
