Who said this? I was merely pointing out that "new" technology, as appeared in the quote I responded to, it actually usually kickstarted by taxpayer money. I am not interested in where it went from there.

Said what exactly? The comment you were responding to is titled "How can you dismiss socialism so casually?"

> I am not interested in where it went from there.

Well, that's awfully convenient, isn't it? If we only consider technology that's developed by the government it's much easier to reach the desired conclusion.
