You're the one making the extravagant claims, not me. like >Government contracts were also a big income source for Xerox, AT&T, IBM, and others. Don't get off

You're the one making the extravagant claims, not me. like >Government contracts were also a big income source for Xerox, AT&T, IBM, and others. Don't get offended if you get challenged on that. I don't think you actually know anything specific here.

You're making a fool of yourself. There is nothing extravagant about saying government gives money for industrial labs. Here are a few that you are lazy enough not to see: High Taxes Brought Us Xerox PARC and Bell Labs [1] PARC, a Xerox company, today announced it has secured funding from the US Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency [2] NTIA grants Verizon, AT&T-led open RAN group $42M [3] Nvidia, Microsoft, Google, and others partner with US government on AI research [4] Governor Hochul announced a $10 billion partnership with the semiconductor industry such as IBM [5] [1] https://slate.com/business/2012/07/xerox-parc-and-bell-labs-brought-to-you-by-high-taxes.html https://slate.com/business/2012/07/xerox-parc-and-bell-labs-...

  You can say that again [1]: [1] Biden to inject Intel with CHIPS fab cash 'next week': https://www.theregister.com/2024/03/15/biden_intel_chips_funds/ https://www.theregister.com/2024/03/15/biden_intel_chips_fun...

    He can say it again, but it'll be doubly stupid the 2nd time. The discussion was about PARC in the 70's. Not Intel now.

  in your little woke bubble, a high marginal tax rate == a gift to corporations that spend a lot. Duh. Do some math. That's what marginal rates mean. [2] doesn't work as a link. In any case, all your links seem to be current, not 1970's. Give us ANY Xerox product that was government-funded. Don't say "ARPANET" because that was not a Xerox product. Nor an IBM or Microsoft product. As for the CHIPS Act: that seems to be fairly recent, doesn't it?
