Because gov't grants are awarded by a committee of people with lots of different opinions, while corporations have only one interest in mind.

- 1123581321 10y agoCareful: a government board has one interest (welfare of its constituents) and multiple opinions about how to serve it. A corporate board has one interest (welfare of its shareholders) and multiple opinions above to how to serve it. Besides that, both types of boards can have a variety of unofficial/official power structures, consideration of the welfare of non-constituents/non-shareholders, and varying degrees of competency. This isn't to say that any type of governing body has arbitrary properties. Predictable inequalities exist.
- atemerev 10y agoGovernments also have only one interest in mind: continuity of power and welfare of the government members. Or somebody still thinks that governments serve the people?
