Well, frankly, having a big bag of cash is what got us a lot of the specialist doctors in tough areas requiring a lot of years of work. There is nothing wrong with making money if you provide a service worth it. We get nowhere when we deamonize money.
Don't pay for failure if you care about that, but maybe we need a whole heck of a lot more throwing it at the wall than we have now. I can see some startups wanting to play where they cannot now.
- makmanalp 10y agoYeah, I'm absolutely not against researchers and specialists and people who /work on/ this stuff being well paid, it just seems like the bulk of the profits goes to shareholders (I'm guessing mostly large institutional investors) rather than getting reinvested back into other efforts for the greater good. I'm questioning whether we really need that component of it all.
