That is a recipe for fraud. You could put all the safeguards you can

So, material stock that is constantly rotated would all be
defective? OK.

I think it would at least be sub-standard. It would be sold to the
government as top quality, then pilfered for use to which it is suited.

People selling stuff to the government rarely go broke doing it.


Sigh. SO few working brain cells. I stated that the inventory will
be maintained by companies that supply utilites. All it would do is
make sure that a minimum inventory of critical items be maintained.
They would continue to sell to the utilites, but not be allowed to run
out of emergency repair stock. Since it has to be used on a FIFO basis,
how will they know it's safe to stick crap in the supply lines?
