Subsidizing research? Yes. Doing it by making it economically favorable that many people doing that research live in poverty, while the rewards for that research go to the rich? No.
- whimsicalism 3y agoIt’s a subsidy either way, the stuff about the rewards going to the rich seem to be rhetoric that isn’t super relevant to the issue at hand.
- kadoban 3y agoIn what way is it not relevant? We are paying for a system that rewards the few rich and strings along the many in a system of poverty and pain. So, let's fix the incentives and stop doing that. What could possibly be _more_ relevant?
