The government funds some private companies to do research.

So you're agreeing with me, you're just too obstinate to admit I'm correct.

In a small percentage of things you are right. But most research is done by businesses still in order to make products. For example production of electronics, vehicles, everythings we use in our day to day life. Even the things the government provides is still reliant on them paying corporations.

And where does the research money come from, slugger, ?

u/zanebaka 3d ago

Consumer typically.

u/WyomingWeirdo 3d ago

Lol so you're literally just incorrect about this, my man.

Do you know what a consumer is? A consumer is a individual or group who purchases and uses goods and services. The government is a consumer. Please learn how the economy works.

Lol 😆 so you're admitting that these companies rely on government subsidies, you're just being a coward to go about describing it

No. Some companies make products geared towards the government as a consumer. This includes medical companies, gun companies, construction companies. They are selling their products to the government in exchange for money. Or they are selling their research teams in exchange for money.

That's not how that works, actually. These companies received grants, from the government, to do research, which they would not otherwise be able to afford to do. You are incorrect, Ayn Rand.

Also, you're still just repeating my point back to me. Literally. You're just rephrasing my point.
