Was there some brand new company that the government gave a half billion dollar subsidy to make LCDs to compensate for lack of market demand?

If the government was involved in producing TVs like they are in energy, we would still be watching black and white TVs.

This. We don't need government money in innovation. Look how far cell phones have come in 15 years. Flat Panel TV's. While energy is one area where I am more OK with government money due to my feelings that it a national security problem to get our energy from our enemies, if there is a market and the technical possibility, innovation will happen.

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

Neither is poor, single, and stupid. Good think I have none of the 5 traits mentioned there.
