Industrial R&D is important, but it is in a distrant third place with respect to importance to US scientific leadership after (1) Universities operating with federal grants and (2) Federal research institutions.

It's hard to convince politicians with a zero sum mentality that the kind of public research that benefits humanity also benefits US competitiveness. The mindset shows in launching a new citizenship program for anyone who pays a million bucks while at the same time discouraging foreign graduate students from attending universtiy in the US or even continuing their university careers here. On average each talented graduate student admitted to the US to attend and elite university does way more than someone who could just buy their way in.

It's quite amusing that some troll follows me around modding down any comments where I suggest humans should cooperate with one another. They are literally proving my point by moving things backwards with their solitary cowardice.

That it's a competitive system is the problem. The world advances through cooperation.

You seem to have forgotten we have read your comments.

Good. Fuck off and don't come back, hypocrite.

I see that you are ignorant of the USA's entire history in Central and South America. This is my surprised face.

... other than the chinese. MKBHDs review of the Xiaomi SU7 is a real eye opener. If this really is the new bar for cars and not just China trying to get some stop on deflation. then it's certainly not just the US car industry that is in deep trouble.

At this point, he's merely a useful idiot for the Project 2025 people. Their idea of economic growth is their investments grow. And they take particular care to feed la Presidenta a fair proportion of social stupidity orders to keep the Maggots worrying about who is using the "wrong" bathrooms than who is stealing them blind. They mask these stupid orders in "morality" when actually caring about people is not on their agenda.

And just as important, when did this Supreme Court care about the Constitution.

I guess you mean their annual car sales?

Specifically:
Overall Guidance: Rivian adjusted its 2025 delivery target down to 41,500 - 43,500 vehicles due to retooling for the next-gen R2 platform, impacting production.
(vs about 51K in 2024)

I guess I'd call that a blip if the numbers play out and they get R2 up and running - which I'm looking forward to.

Hahahahaha you think nationalists care about people other than themselves hahahhahahahahhahaha

You mean unlike a congressional parasite, or a PPP parasite, or a CEO parasite?

Use preview.

No, every day now.

More people fail every day.

Unsustainable means it fails eventually, not on a specific day.

"the proper solution is obviously to have a formal, controlled, actually viable work visa system for economic migrants"

Yes, we should definitely formalize and legalize our tampering with other countries to produce cheap labor we can abuse.

Wait, what?

I don't think it's possible to make a less nuanced and less coherent argument than this. At best, you're telling on yourself.
