Your assertion that the private company contributes nothing is wrong. They contribute editorial expertise and a network of reviewers. Peer review is essential, and often does make published papers better. In the US, NIH-funded papers must be released to the public after a period of time that is shorter than copyright - you can't start selling copies, of course, but you can access the results.
"If the taxpayers fund tanks for the military, even in a small way, then taxpayers are entitled to tanks."
Kinda seems silly now, doesn't it? There are plenty of things that taxpayers fund that the public has no access to. In addition, papers that are funded by the NIH have to be made public after a year or two anyways - you can't get cutting-edge research but you will see it at some point.
Point 1) is a style choice, not a grammar choice. Point 2 only works if you also agree with point 3. Point 4 is fine. Point 5 is nonsensical; "just" is not always a filler word and can add nuance. Point 6 is incorrect; "that is" refers to "we live in a society with".
It wasn't just Chicago School economists that were pushing back; those results are from a large macroeconomics conference that was held at Chicago. If you look at the other links I posted, you'll see that the claim is mostly unsubstantiated in the first place.
Why didn't the Japanese who were interned move away to a state that would project them?
Because that was an action carried out by... wait for it... the federal government?
Why didn't gay people just move to another state in the 50's that would properly protect them?
Primarily because there weren't any at the time. There are some now. And your next question has much the same answer, except that for a lot of drugs there's nowhere in the developed world you can go. States and countries are usually just too big to find something that *exactly* fits your needs. But you can prioritize your issues and look at what's available.
Liberal Americans are also usually pretty intolerant of people who lead different lives from themselves. Both groups can be pretty biased. Blaming the federal government isn't a cop out unless you say it's the only reason people don't have government that is responsive to them. It is a legitimate problem that the federal government is trying to force states to be homogeneous, because you never know what the next administration will do.
The wage stagnation statistic is largely a myth that economists don't agree with. It uses an inappropriate measure of inflation, discounts changing household size and tax changes, and fails to take into account the improved quality of goods that lead to a higher real purchasing power.
The US, like Austria and Denmark, reports all live births. France, on the other hand, only reports when the birth is after at least 22 weeks of gestation or if the birth weight is at least 500 grams. It's right there in the table.
My guess would be through some legal framework within the EU, but I don't know. Maybe if FB does not comply, they can go through the EU courts and fine their office in Ireland?
Huh. That's actually a great point, and upon looking further I also can't find one. It seems they run most of their European operations out of Dublin. Which makes the court ruling even more puzzling. Even so, it should only have to follow Austrian law/court orders within Austrian borders.
The US uses the World Health Organization (WHO) definition, unlike Germany and most of Western Europe, which use a less strict definition. Most other countries discount births that are not viable because they're too underweight or too early, while the US (for once) follows international guidelines. This means the US over-represents infant mortality and many other countries, including Cuba, under-represent it.

You know English is a Germanic language, right?

So because you can't change your schedule by 10 minutes to fill up when it's cheaper, free markets don't work?

"Pacifically" is obvious enough. People use "could care less" sincerely all the time, for reasons that are beyond me.
It's "couldn't care less". If you're going to accuse someone of sounding like an idiot, you could at least make sure you don't sound like one also.

It's not "sharing" if the government makes you do it.

The US does count very early child birth, while many others don't. It's pretty clear in that table.
You need to get better at looking. The link I posted says there are different methods for counting live births, and thus I was right.
You need to get better, apparently.
Exactly. It's very aggravating.
That's not at all what biologists do, but keep showing your ignorance, I'm sure that'll help your cause.

If only I had mod points...
Yep, the Austrian court can order Facebook's subsidiary in Austria to do things. It cannot order Facebook Germany, Italy, Canada, etc. to do anything.
Yeah, that would definitely also help. Any new plan would ideally include both of those changes, because they would make sense.
Of course, that means it won't happen, because politicians don't do things that make sense.

That's a nice Kafkatrap you've constructed there.
Sweden is capitalist. Individuals can own capital. See this article for more details.
