Gonna need a lot more H-1bs for that project.
Are you serious with that statement?
You believe we the US is spending that money solely on the research or perhaps to also deploy our own citizens to participate in that research?
Why would we wish to do that with foreigners anyway as the article says China and EU are already committing their own resources on similar projects?
I surmise one reason this was implemented was due to undue reliance on foreign interests in the technology world and usage of foreigners would be counterproductive to the security of the project itself.
