Come on K, you are smarter than that. I think?


Helicopters were developed and built during the first half-century of flight, with the Focke-Wulf Fw 61 being the first operational helicopter in 1936. Some helicopters reached limited production, but it was not until 1942 that a helicopter designed by Igor Sikorsky reached full-scale production,[6] with 131 aircraft built

British mathematician William Bourne made some of the earliest known plans for a submarine around 1578, but the world’s first working prototype was built in the 17th century by Cornelius Drebbel, a Dutch polymath and inventor in the employ of the British King James I.

US inventor Thomas Edison is often credited with creating the solution in 1879: the carbon filament light bulb. Yet the British chemist Warren de La Rue had solved the scientific challenges nearly 40 years earlier. He used thin – and thus high-resistance – filaments to achieve the brightness, and delayed burnout by making them from high-melting-point metal sealed in a vacuum.

The real difference in a capitalist versus communist world is the form of motivation that is used. Communists use a stick, you don't work you starve and die. Capitalist system does the same thing because if you don't work you starve and die, but then they also give you a carrot so if you work really hard you can move ahead. At some level both system will motivate people to a certain degree... But to throw out innovations that came about before communism even existed doesn't really make a whole lot of sense.

I informed him about their exploding TVs and lousy cars.

Good general point, though I can't help but point out that US innovations, including specifically medical advances in recent decades, dwarf all of Europe's thanks to our for profit system. From the most important new machines to surgical techniques to pharmaceuticals, Americans have been shouldering the burden for advancing healthcare for the entire world.
