A successful company has to create revenue to pay for research, but it may create a lot of revenue from research.
In fact, I don't even want my tax revenue to go to parts of the country that I see as having regressive tendencies.    The greater good isn't for the greater good.  For me, I am fine to mainly supporting the people around me who do good work.   I don’t see that as tribal, just the facts of life that I tried to prevent from happening in the first place.   I'm glad there are people trying to get things on track again, but building an ark is a sensible contingency too.
