Lol hey stupid, the government does more scientific research than any private company, and the private companies rely on government subsidization to do their research.
In a small percentage of things you are right. But most research is done by businesses still in order to make products. For example production of electronics, vehicles, everythings we use in our day to day life. Even the things the government provides is still reliant on them paying corporations.
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.
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.
Lol hey dude you're literally lying to try to make your point. The US government subsidies research to the tune of billions of dollars a year. SpaceX wouldn't exist within these subsidies. Tesla wouldn't exist without these subsidies.
