So Chinese will make primers that last 2 years?
Maybe for the US civilian shooters! Probably not for the US police or military. I thought my points were, Lawrence Livermore is a federally funded National Lab, and that this patent proves the Federal Government is advancing the anti gun agenda through research. And I am just upset by the number of Chinese spies working at the National Labs, and academia in general.
The liberal agenda to get the American male out of the family, out of college, out of engineering and science, and turn them into "
hewers of wood and drawers of water," well the liberal agenda is working. Government agencies have had to hire foreign nationals with advanced degrees in engineering and science, because the vast majority of individuals getting advanced degrees from US Universities are foreign nationals. I believe China and India are the two most represented Nationalities in Government employment with STEM degrees. Few of them are actually Government employees because Government salaries are non competitive. Instead these guys work for Contractors. It would be interesting to see the statistics on the most represented groups in Government without STEM degrees.
A comment on the non competitiveness of Government salaries. Last week I talked to an individual who had retired from NASA after 30 years. He retired in Dec. He picked up a job with a private contractor, on Army stuff, and he makes 25% more than he did as a Government employee, working three days a week! He is so happy working part time, three days on, four days off, a lot less stress than at NASA, and his current combined salary, and pension, he is rolling in money. He made agreements, no travel! If you ever had to travel for a job, it gets to be hell on earth. Your life is only about work, and regular transit by commercial airlines is a horrible experience that frequently becomes nightmarish. Pull 20 weeks or more of temporary travel duty in a year and you will figure it out. Maybe you will figure it out the first night you sleep in uncomfortable airport chairs because your connection left without you. (the chair backs are short, designed to keep you from staying upright, and arm rests prevent you from laying out on several chairs, it is all quite well thought out in terms of getting you out of an uncomfortable chair , getting you moving, and making space for the next person) Or, become a long haul trucker and have a stroke within the first year, like a guy in the neighborhood.
