It got us to the moon.

Then we decided to sell off our society for private profit under the lie that we'd all benefit.

Biggest reason this country has gotten this cartoonishly shitty, why our commons like bridges are literally collapsing.

Public research was slower and more considered, as it didn't have the very unscientific sole goal of "how do we monetize this half-baked discovery NOW?!" with no other consideration let alone to societal consequences, but publically funded research yielded social benefits we all reaped through the commons. Reckless growth/metastasis for private profit is giving us technologies that make us miserable and that only truly benefit private shareholders at our expense. Plus you know, the whole reverse terraforming our only world against us, again for short term private profit.

For-Profit Medical Corporations would miss out on some lowest effort, unethical, low margins for their extreme profiteering opportunities?
