  1. They don't give money, they fund research, which is essentially what gives you this phone, the modern internet, so show some respect, buddy.

  2.  @matteopantangelli9477  First off, all of it is audited very clearly, you might not understand this but the funding itself is incredibly small compared to the amount of waste the government spent a military plane. So kid, you're angry at the wrong stuff. The research at those Universities made your phones, laptops, batteris, modern internet, AI, they're carrying you to the new age. So show some respect.

  3. You are incredibly shallow. Those schools receive explicitly for research, the money can not be used at all for paying student tuitions, aka buying equipments or paying salaries to people. Buddy, you're living in a bubble.

The money they have is actually theirs, donated to them by alumni in the form of assets and limited funds. The research funded by the federal government is the primary form of funding for researchers, not to the school. You know, the researchers that created the modern world and probably save your life. You think electric cars grow on trees? That Musky conjur them up via a spell? Homeboy, show some respect.

  5. ​ @martindg93  Yeah, I don't think you're any more knowledgeable than those people. China rise is not due to cheap labor, buddy. Their country is filled with individuals as equally talented intellectually as yours and countless people more talented than yours. The problem with your country is not how to compete with China, you've already lost there. The problem is that you need to take care of your own people, and yes, reducing wasteful spending is key, but this is not remotely as wasteful as the invisible wars. The US is at a peculiar situation where both parties are just as ignorant as the population itself, so no matter who's in charge, they all say and do the wrong stuff.

  6. @martindg93  Yes, they have been trailing, but they have closed the distance much faster than you've been able to extend the lead. They don't need to export their tech to you, they will use that tech to replace your tech in their countries and then they're going to export to other people, such as the other 5 billion people on Earth. You might not realize this but you are not the center of this planet. China's last 10 years were the technological revolution, 30 years before that 10 years were the industrial revolution. Come on, homie, their tech now is roughly just as good as yours, if not better, yet 3 times cheaper, meaning they're just better. If you pay a lot of money, their premium tech is just as good, again, if not better. You have to in the modern era, hombre, not the stone age.

  7. @martindg93  They're 1-2 years away from making their own most advanced chip, homie. And then if you try to cut off certain products, they're going to create their own as well. What you seemingly don't realize is that everything you can do, they can actually do better given the same condition, so your temporary lead can give you slight of an edge, but with time, that edge is increasingly smaller and has become a negative lead in some fields. So no, you don't have a chance, too many people, too many brains, any temporary lead you have is just temporary.
