Capitalism is why we still don't have it

Capitalism is why we still burn coal and use gas

Capitalism is why china is already ahead

They all waiting in line to get government funding

Capitalism is why there is no chip fab in the US

Intel is waiting in line for government funding

China's nuclear efforts have nothing to do with Capitalism

It is communism/socialism, government funded effort, government funded universities/R&D

Just like this US's record


> Capitalism is why china is already ahead

Yes, but not in the ironic meaning you probably meant it in. China is more capitalist than the United States or Europe at this point in time. It's why they managed to catapult themselves so quickly ahead.

> Capitalism is why there is no chip fab in the US

Umm what? My friend works at one. There's dozens of them in the US.

Also the reason why chip fabs took off in certain other countries is because of state sponsorship by feeding their development off of the tax base. i.e. corporate welfare.


In a free market, socialists could create a lot for profit collective fusion power coop. Funny how that never happens.


It did quickstart the Nuclear revolution after the WW2, look whos still burning coal nowadays ;)
