It would need a pristine social security card in a reader at random to work. The slightest wrinkle or mark would cause it to be rejected.

If the government had created it, it would weigh 30 lbs, have a battery life of 1/2 hour and would cost $20,000 And you'd be required to carry it.

Who has the most patents ? Government or private industry ? And you can forget about government research discovering anything in the future. It has to comply with ridiculous Global warming mandates and Political correctness restrictions. In the coming ice age, the Black Market rules.

Wheels optional but expect a hefty tax and random checkpoints to make sure that you and it are in compliance with whatever whim the betters come up with.

You didnt build any of that. All good things come from the government.
Laugh if you must, but they TRULY believe that.
To: Sub-Driver
Hmmm! Since the federal government has no money of it’s own to invest in research, I guess the taxpayers invented the iPhone.

The iPhone is based on thousands of inventions occurring over many years.

Nah, Nancy Pelosi invented it after Al Gore gave her the idea.

Another “you didn’t build that” moment?
Okay, fine!
Then that applies to MORONS who come from public schools.

The iPhone is based on thousands of inventions occurring over many years. Absolutely correct. Sir Isaac Newton, no less, said that " If I have seen further it's because I have stood on the shoulders of giants" and he had a lot more to boast about than Nancy Pelosi and her government research.

Actually, if you really, really look into who did the ENGINEERING for the components used in the iPhone and other smartphones, you need to look at Bell Labs, a NGO dedicated to providing good telephone service in its first 80 years of life.. Both iOS and Android OS can trace part of their ancestry to Unix, a Bell Labs skunks work project. As for government, the government itself didn't ENGINEER the inventions, private industry did, under contract with DARPA and the four branches of the Armed Forces. Not to mention all the fallout from NASA and its contracting to NGOs for Mercury/Gemini/Apollo and the Space Shuttle.
Basic research? Look to the network of universities and their associated National Laboratories -- more NGOs who moved technology forward.
