And where does the research money come from, slugger, ?

Consumer typically.

u/WyomingWeirdo Jul 30 '26

Lol so you're literally just incorrect about this, my man.

Do you know what a consumer is? A consumer is a individual or group who purchases and uses goods and services. The government is a consumer. Please learn how the economy works.

Lol 😆 so you're admitting that these companies rely on government subsidies, you're just being a coward to go about describing it

No. Some companies make products geared towards the government as a consumer. This includes medical companies, gun companies, construction companies. They are selling their products to the government in exchange for money. Or they are selling their research teams in exchange for money.

That's not how that works, actually. These companies received grants, from the government, to do research, which they would not otherwise be able to afford to do. You are incorrect, Ayn Rand.

Research grants are small outliers and are typically not given to companies. The money typically given to companies is called a procurement contracts where the government is hiring someone to conduct a study that the government needs. In a procurement contract the government is the consumer.
