Really people should be funding chemistry en masse rather than this gay computer stuff. Old chemistry patents are FULL of crazy stuff we could just bring back again with a modern technology base. Like W. H Dibble and Francois Charles Le Page's Hemacite/Bois Durci, which was a plastic precursor made from slaughtered livestock blood and sawdust to make a moldable material to make practically any form desired. Not to mention how kino it looks when made with powdered ebony wood.

Tell me what people on Medicaid do to deserve that support? Tell me what value they bring this world. Because from my perspective, they contribute nothing and exist only to feed on what hardworking Americans produce. Medical research grants are actually for making bioweapons by the way. As for small business loans, this is a sink or swim world and if they can't stay afloat without government assistance, they shouldn't exist. My tax dollars shouldn't fund some retard's pickleball or comic book store.
Medicaid doesn't even pay providers. They'll give you 20 bucks and a tax credit for a 1200 dollar ambulance transport.

Medicare does they pay out around 250-350 which is close to private insurance companies.

Medicaid = Niggers and poors
Medicare = Old people and the disabled.

He should be recalled to service and ordered to perform a speshul detail cleaning the White House toilets

Or, sent to a drafty, leaky Quonset hut at Camp Beauregard to prepare a report regarding his own actions on January 8, 2021, when at a meeting he committed numerous illegal acts - including ordering the other officers at the meeting to, in effect, swear an oath of loyalty to himself, and claimed powers of command that his office (Chairman of the JCS) does not have and in fact is expressly proscribed from having by statute. And also to prepare a report on his repeated violations of Article 88 of the UCMJ

Yeah but we already have these programs. If they were supposed to stop multinational corporations from jeetfucking peaceful suburbia, they've sure as hell failed. We shouldn't be funding failed experiments.
The programs weren't going to stop that. The only thing that would stop it is the enforcement of anti-trust laws that exist. But our Government is wholly captured by corporate interests, and the likelihood that they will do this is very slim. It isn't a failed experiment, because I'm sure that every business that isn't a corporate franchise or a chain store of a multinational conglomerate has benefited from small business loans.

Anyway you're fucking stupid for thinking that their endgoal here is to cut all of these programs. Read the memorandum and you'll see what the actual endgame is: elimination of all DEI verbiage from these programs and the cutting-off of funding from activist NGOs that have benefited from government grants.
It'd be better than seeing landwhale cripples rolling around Walmart in their mobility scooters and buying Coke, cigarettes, and steak on EBT while their mutt son throws Pokemon cards in the cart. I have no empathy for anyone who didn't prepare for the future and are wasting my tax dollars.
You're delusional and arguing in complete bad faith, and ignoring the other half of my post in any case.
 
My tax dollars should not be going to some retard playing with rocks and mud, I'm sorry. He should be getting funding from the corporate sector if his work is that valuable. The fact that he isn't just shows that he contributes nothing with his fake degree.
The research at the lab is used in shit like future space exploration and, importantly, things like oil research for more efficient extraction etc. Geology is more helpful than you might think.

Conflicted on this.
I think a lot of work is able to be done effectively as remote work, but I also don't trust federal workers to do any work at all. Shying away from remote work is bad for the labor market but in this instance it at least gets federal workers to leave the house if they're going to mooch.
That being said it is nice that they have the option to either return to office or take 9 months paid to find a new job.

It should be obvious by now that space is a dead end and a way for tech faggots to scam our government out of billions. The oil stuff is cool, but is there a problem with our current oil extraction methods? Fracking seemed to fix all the obvious issues.
 
If you get seriously injured through no fault of your own, and are unable to work to make ends meet as you used to, would you consent to being shoved in a government asylum and forced to deal with the "quality treatment" of the average medical professional? Do you remember how that worked 5 years ago?
I don't know if you've ever seen the nursing homes that take Medicaid. I'm there every night when they kill people through negligence. I don't understand what your argument has to do with Medicaid, facilities like you're describing are a direct cause of it.

Fracking is incredibly destructive to the water table and causes toxic contamination of the water supply. It is not a sustainable "fix." It shouldn't even be a thing.

I admit that I was more arguing in favor of "general" social welfare rather than the specific program. But asylums were run the exact same way as well, to be honest with you.

Hey, dipshit, you can't buy cigarettes on EBT. If you're going to endlessly bitch and moan about something, at least know what it does before shitting up the thread.

The oil industry needs my taxdollars to subsidize their research and exploration?

Bull. Shit.

[The oil/gas industry has the best geologists and chemists in the world. They aren't relying on a grant-funded gov't wagie]
