Why bullshit so hard, man? Why is that your first instinct? I'm here calling you on bullshit and you defend your bullshit with more bullshit.

Please refute it.
Start with Thomas Jefferson and govt support for agricultural technology of the time.
Then the govt role in the trans-continental railroads, followed by investments in automation and other early 20th century technologies.
Continuing with the de facto govt subsidy of IBM for years to get the compuer industry off the ground.
And the hugh govt investment in creating and funding the Internet infrastructure.
But please refute it.
