Last time I checked, the US federal government had an annual funding rate of $3.45 trillion compared to "a hundred million in funding" total for 23andMe.
So yeah, government stomping on the little guy definitely fits the picture. Then again, it would fit the picture no matter who the government decided to stomp on. Perhaps we should focus on less stomping and on more cooperative behavior?
- gress 13y agoBy your argument any action the US government takes against anyone is 'stomping on the little guy'. How is a generic anti-government argument relevant here?
- FireBeyond 13y agoThat's disingenuous. The FDA's 2012 budget was $4.3B. The fact that our government chooses to pour $1/2T into the military, that has very little sway on this.
