Boeing overcharged the U.S. Air Force 8,000% above market for soap dispensers

It's interesting that this says "Boeing overcharged" and not "USAF overpaid".

I know who I blame for wasting the tax dollars, and it isn't the organisation whose raison d'être is making a profit on selling goods. I don't blame the lion for eating the gazelle either.

(Admittedly the actual article has a more balanced tone).

Looks like the buyer didn't shop around and just went with the first crazy offer.

Why blame Boeing for this? They just made an offer and someone took it.
