Let me extend my point: Politicians and business leaders do whatever is popular/profitable no matter the morality. Scientists are prevented from doing anything

Let me extend my point: Politicians and business leaders do whatever is popular/profitable no matter the morality. Scientists are prevented from doing anything that even might be considered questionable by someone. Then people wonder why our society makes so little progress scientifically and why we make so much immortal but profitable "progress". Why we have endless abuse of workers but no treatments for dementia or depression... Anything socially useful can be vetoed by a tiny minority. Anything socially harmful but privately profitable is a RIGHT, beyond question.
