Isn't the problem that if you are competitive with China they will steal the designs anyway, and potentially use any saved research capital to make improvements? You'll always be at a disadvantage if you're you're paying

It really does seem that personal responsibility is a dirty word these days. Whether it comes to being able to critical review some news/social media someone has read online or maintaining the computer in your pocket. I wonder if it&#x

Personally, I am more comfortable socializing benefits and privatizing (my own) mistakes. Which might not be the best way of phrasing it, but if someone else made a mistake, whether it's widely known or just something I've been pr
