And no, I obviously don't want to fund Mozilla, a hilariously incompetent entity that hates its users.

The U.S. isn’t anti-socialism, it’s anti-public benefit.
We’ll socialize losses for banks to pay bonuses, but funding shared infrastructure that serves citizens is a bridge too far.

Not really.
It's a web browser and from a non-tech politician they already have the internet.
It's pretty hard to get a government to understand why the 1000 webkit browsers aren't actually competitive.
They'd rather send money and regulations towards something they can better understand like healthcare or right to repair. Heck, even "AI".
