Sources and sinks
A sort of convective popup thought....

Commies constantly worry about the effects of money on government. EG Hillary's Citizens United, fraudulently rebranded as Repooflican Citizens United. But the same commies do NOT worry about the effects of money on science and religion.

The effects are the same everywhere. This is an extremely old piece of human nature, not remotely mysterious or secret. When huge floods of money are pouring from a few golden faucets, everyone obeys the owners of the golden faucets and ignores other sources of money.

Parkinson specified the effects in the realm of science back in the '30s, and it's grown MASSIVELY worse since then. Approx quote: "When an organization has a brand new building with marble floors and all imaginable equipment, it's dead. Innovation happens in rough surroundings." A feature on Tombaugh and Pluto includes a single picture that proves Parkinson's point. Tombaugh is sitting in the control seat of a giant telescope. He's holding a jury-rigged control box, and the ropes holding him up are dangerously frayed. The picture shows exactly why Tombaugh and his coworkers got things done. They weren't receiving Big Money and Big Mandates. Nobody was forcing them to spend half their time on Safety And Diversity Training and the other half on proving Multiverse Theory. All of their time and energy went into plain old astronomy.

Another good example is the auto industry. From 1920 to 1930 cars didn't change much because money was pouring in. Manufacturing became more efficient, but the cars were the same. When the Depression struck, money stopped pouring. Carmakers had to DO something or starve. So they did. 1940 cars are drastically different from 1930 in appearance, performance and efficiency.

If you're going to worry about the effects of receiving a flood, you should SPECIFICALLY stop worrying about the Feds. Think sources and sinks, batteries and loads. Input money has no effect on the Feds because the Feds have their own counterfeit press. The Feds DON'T NEED ANYONE ELSE'S MONEY because the Feds ARE the input. The overabundant flow of counterfeit FROM the Feds (and FROM the Euro equivalents) is the major source of everyone else's problems. Countries, colleges, businesses, and lower-level governments shape their performance to obey the infinite lunacy of USA STRONG and EU.

Sidenote:

I understand this only too well. I'm just as vulnerable as anyone to the floods. I've been there, and finally managed to wade out.

Uncharacteristically, I've also seen it from the other side. A couple years ago, news mentioned a biology researcher in Seattle who had a possible solution to the idiot unreal fraudulent criminal nonexistent "problem" of trace phosphorus in the water. The monstrous genocidal infinitely illegitimate dys"government" of Spokane has decided to spend TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS on all sorts of pointless expensive projects to satisfy the EPA Terrorist Army's demands for zero phosphorus in river output. This researcher needed SEVENTY THOUSAND to complete his study of a vastly cheaper solution. He was working within a university, and unsurprisingly he didn't get a desired grant from government. I wrote to him and mentioned the possibility of crowdfunding, and said I'd start the pot with $3000, maybe more. He couldn't see the potential because he was phase-locked onto the official grant system.
