where do little guys get funding?

Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, May 24 2013 @ 04:51 PM EDT

When big guys buy up little guys, how much of their own seed money are they
buying back?

How much of the "seed" money is from government grants?

I would like to know before hating the big guys.

That little Blue Pill came about, because it was not effective for
what it was designed for. In trying to make lemonade out of
lemons, marketing noticed a side-effect, that they could market
and perhaps make even more money, than it would have, had it
been effective at what it was designed for.

The big irony here is that if they can perform using that little blue
pill, they can perform without it, if their partner studied any pillow
book in Chinese or Japanese.

Come to think of it, Xavier's autobiography provided pretty
explicit instructions on how to help the man perform, when he
thinks he can't.
