Scientific innovation has been driving US economic growth for decades. Losing that edge means losing access to the technologies and brainpower that come with it.
Not really. DARPA is only getting $4.9B of the US’s $181.4B research budget this year. For comparison, the NIH is getting nearly 10x what DARPA is getting.
A lot of people have a very weird understanding of what DARPA does.
We very much understand and value that position. The people running the country right now just really want to destroy that position because they, rather moronically, believe that in order to make America great again they need to make the economy and population like that of the 1950s.
Their only goal is to destroy democracy — the only legitimate threat to the oligarchs wealth and power — and implement a fascist dictatorship where the corporate oligarchy rule AmericaCorp with an iron fist.
Any other virtue signaling they do is nothing more than a distraction. They’ve been working towards this goal since the 70’s.
I’m pretty sure at this point, Trump himself just wants to burn it all down as vengeance for making him kill Epstein to hide their wrongdoings. The rest of them are dominionist Christian fascists who want to being about the rapture, slowly empowered over the past decades by the hubris of the espionage state who thought they could leverage yet control them.
Since inception, really, but verifiable media complicity began with Hearst during the Spanish-American war, although the Business Plot shouldn’t have ever allowed anyone to fall back asleep. Throw in Operations Gladio and Condor, along with Freud’s nephew, Bernays, working with the US government, along with USAid, radio free *, the funding of violent Islam and fascists, Operation Paperclip, revised/whitewashed history, home ownership, auto industry, GI Bill, relative luxury on the backs of Asia, the Eastern Bloc, global South, invading/cripple sanctioning of sovereign states to checks notes prove actually existing socialism doesn’t work, and lots of other wtfery, it was easy for the global West, especially USA citizens, to turn a willfully bind eye, to suck down more cheap shit, then cry foul when states they brutally oppressed somehow managed to rise to and exceed Western living standards. Throw Lee Atwater and the Southern strategy, it’s no wonder I and my compatriots were thoroughly convinced the truth are commie lies and Western lies are the truth. The only excuse now is willful ignorance, though.
It’s way worse than that, because they get more value per unit of spend. This further confirms that China is way out in front.
I think we’re past this point, too. We no longer value or understand our position.
Let me rephrase that: It’s even better than that
All of our research money goes to DARPA
