i actually support this

encouraging more innovation on the edges is helpful for places like buffalo and st. louis where there are ambitious young people without the means to move

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

Applied at the right point doing a lot of work there :)

I’m extremely skeptical this money will be well-allocated vs. political favors.

Difference between government and market-based here is VC allocating poorly goes out of biz vs. government does not. No feedback loop.

I believe that a small amount of money applied at the right point can impact individuals lives

At the margin, $50-$75 million creates jobs that otherwise wouldn’t exist 

In SV it’s just another funding round

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.

Market is taking care of this. (And yes there are some gov subsidies contributing.)

tbqh I would love to see a very formalized sequence of energy grants that expand public solar farm capacity. that alone would invite more explorational energy consumption (e.g. FLOPs) & +EV for private speculation.

knowing how open-ended this is, I think the current approach is earnest about appearance, not max scale.
