i think of covid vaccines, internet, gps, touchscreens
Covid vaccines: corporate development.
Internet: English computer scientist.
GPS: U.S. government employees. But system you use, Google Maps, developed by Google, a private corporation.
Touchscreens: British and American inventors, engineers, and professors.

moderna vaccine was basically all government funding lol

internet / gps / touchscreens are all decades of govt investment (defense dept) before it was handed over to corporations when it became profitable

Moderna is a private corporation. There's a big difference between government funding and government innovation. I wouldn't crow about that as a government achievement either as those vaccines have proven ineffective at preventing infection or transmission of the virus.

the vaccines are beneficial. btw is it any wonder you have problems figuring anything out be it vaccine or govt investment?

But did the government develop the iPod, iPad, or other Apple inventions? This is what you aren't getting. The government can fund lab research for military or space applications. The government doesn't create products that greatly benefit us in our daily lives. Those are invented by people seeking to make a profit. Capitalists. By the way government innovation is done by private government contractors. The defense industry.

That infographic is full of BS.
Just saying.

DRAM was invented by Toshiba.

HTML was not invented by, or paid for by CERN. Tim Berners-lee requested funding, and they turned him down.

Hard drives were an IBM invention.
Microprocessors were first made by Intel.

I’m a technical guy, but I can’t tell you for sure on the other stuff.

But there’s a lot of wrong there.

Funding doesn't invent it. The major pharmaceutical companies were onboard because of the huge profit potential. So they gladly jumped on it to produce it. Capitalism.
no pharma doesnt care about stuff like vaccines they care about more routine stuff like viagra bc as you said profits

no funding no invention LOL

You've stated more than once that the Bible is nothing more than traditions of men and you aren't bound by it.
Yes although not bound by any traditions of man, I do find it and many other religious/ spiritual traditions to be profitable in my relationship with the God.
Sin is ok?
That is between the individual and God. I judge?and condemn no one.
You aren't able to differentiate between sin and sinner?
I believe is not for me to differentiate.

I also believe that is between the person and God.

The spirit of God has me convinced that apart from Jesus all humans miss the mark(sin).

By all means believe what you want.

They care very much when there are big profits to be made. Are you under the impression they produced billions of doses for free?
