How odd. Back when all scientific research in the US was privately funded, we had this funny thing called the Industrial Revolution and these two guys named Tom and Nikola who invented and patented a lot of stuff. Federally funded technology has given us a few cool things like nukes and the Internet, but it has mostly been a lot of CIA men-staring-at-goats nonsense. And the Gay Bomb.
Remember: our tax dollars went to pay someone to think up the Gay Bomb. I'll trust private research, thank you very much.
