America gave away scientific dominance when we let corporations write patent law.
American taxpayers pay 160 billion every god damn year for “science”. Which is almost always grant money to billion dollar corporations who then gouge the very people who paid for it.
It’s not just a shite healthcare system, every layer is a grift.

Not even close to true, Most of the money was spent at universities doing research and training PhDs. This was the number one driver of the US economy for innovation and it returned hundreds of thousands of high tech jobs.
You’re getting closer. Where are these tech jobs it “returned”? Dot-coms understaffed by underpaid minions fearing the next strategic lay-off and hoping this sprint will move the project forward so some other group can package it for sale to the very people who funded that thesis already? Those jobs?
Calm down Francis, hundreds of biotechs in Boston and Stanford areas, the guys who came up with a COVID vaccine in weeks.
The algorithm guys went to Silicon Valley because America values post doctoral Fellows right with trash collectors, while lawyers and frat boys on Wall street take all the money for shuffling paper.
With the end of the NIH, because some baby got insulted by reality in 2020, we will see no new drugs from 2030 onward. Zero. That will end US domination in pharma and pivot the world to buy from Asia, yet again.
And the COVID vaccine was only possible because someone was working on MRNA vaccines for decades before that. It was not made in weeks if that knowledge was not there it wouldn’t have been possible.

Maybe they meant biotech and physical engineering jobs, instead of algorithm engineers for the big consumer data collectors?
