This individual didn&#x27;t volunteer to help the government.  He undercut all competition in a competitive bidding process because his costs are $0 for the project.<p>This is one of the known failures of free markets, regardless of the actors intent the effect of his behavior is negative for those trying to participate in the market as a means of sustenance.<p>I&#x27;m not mad at the guy, he can do whatever he wants.  It&#x27;s just kind of a crappy thing to do knowingly to other people and, if widespread, could have some strange externalities.
