      Yeah when other countries do it, it is seen as a smart move to help their country and employ their own people for years to come.

      When the US does it, it is somehow demonized as being “nationalist” or labeled as being greedy capitalism or some other negative term.

        You know you have the top comment right now, right? I think most everyone agrees that the US should be seeing the benefits of its publicly funded research - except some buttsore Europeans who will never miss an opportunity to piss on / armchair general the US.

          Not that I care about internet points, but I have a -3, so if that is the “top comment” then how badly downvoted are all the other posts?! LOL

          And I know a bunch of Europeans will be a little bitter, but the worst are fellow Americans who have this angry anti-American chip on their shoulder. I’ll be the first to say that we need to fix this, that and the other thing, but there is a ridiculous anti-American sentiment out there that covers anything and everything dealing with the US. You can hate on politicians like Trump - guess what, so do it! - but they do not represent the US and what the US can be.

            I’m talking about your “quick let’s sell this….” comment at the top level.
