Кстати, Алексей, хотелось бы по-подробней услышать о вашем понимании..So that private companies can send low-tech jobs overseas to cut their spending:-O:-O:-O

Did you set up a private fund to help your country to better educate its children?

Of course Idid. The way I see it is that by taking care of my son's education I am helping to produce a valuable member of society. If every one did that, we would have a lot less need for government handouts.

Would you rather I le tthe government worry about my son, while i paid taxes for bunch of government programs?

Gera, I care about my kids too. And I also pay for their education directly. So there is no difference between us here.
But I also see other parents' kids. Every day. In my class and in the classes of my colleagues. And I see that some of them don't care. Some of them don't care because their parents pay for their education.
And I also see other kids. Those whose parents work, but cannot pay for their education. But the kids care, they want their education -- and they work themselves -- so government help them too.
And those kids make my day. I am happy to work overtime -- and without pay -- for those kids. And I do.
And here is the difference between us -- you simply don't care.

Наверное, это помагает в защите диссертации очередной
Irina, no. Sometimes it helps to stop being cynical.
Here is the abstract of the grant: ***********.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward.do?AwardNumber=0851678

А вы на практике знаете, почему люди становятся экспатами или только в теории?
Please elaborate what you mean by that.

Alex,
Because people like you care too much for the good of all... we are in this deep sheet depression... We do not need the government as well as academia to tell us what to do and what to care about.
The private company makes money on every dollar. If they do not - they are out of business! The government wastes money, because if they do not get any return, they print more or borrow from communist China.
Shame on them for doing a hole bunch of unconstitutional activities and on you for supporting such stupid policies...

Please elaborate what you mean by that
Объясняю....

So that private companies can send low-tech jobs overseas to cut their spending
Чтобы делать подобные заявления, насколько я понимаю, нужно владеть или по крайней мере иметь знания в этом вопросе!
вся остальное, извините теория...как она у вас называется, кстати?
Поэтому я и уточнила, и переспросила, что именно вы имеете ввиду?!

Irina, no. Sometimes it helps to stop being cynical.
Here is the abstract of the grant:
Прошу прощения, по ссылкам я не хожу! Если у бас нет времени пояснить свою позицию "без лозунгов", я понимаю и затем откланиваюсь! Теорий и у меня полно всяких и разных! Ещё раз, прошу прощение за беспокойство.

Gera, I don't tell you what to do. I do it myself. You don't. So what?
But I did pay for your company to stay afloat -- and thus for you to keep your job. And I didn't mind -- although, frankly, if I had to choose among the three I'd prefer a company from Dearborn.

Ok, Irina, I cut and paste the award information here specifically fo you:
This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). This award supports an REU site at Wayne State University, with project opportunities offered at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, and locally at Wayne State University. The REU program primarily recruits local students and the program starts with a preparation phase at Wayne State University involving a one-hour course given over the winter to student participants.
