Do you honestly believe a peanut butter approach of grants will translate into long-term sustainable growth?

Purple != the government

Purple is opt in. Government via taxes is not. 

To be clear, if the state of Missouri or New York wants to spend their own money on a program like this, I don't really care. But since it's federal, I have a pov.

If every company treated government funding like Elon has with Tesla (paid back the loan with interest, other car companies have not) and SpaceX (milestone-based contracts vs. traditional cost-plus), I'd be more OK.

I’m just joshin, funny out of context.

I do think real dollar incentives from fed to founders in SOME format would be interesting, though.

Not like we’ve got any debt to pay off instead.
