@joedoudna LOL the vast majority of scientists in the research field could easily be paid 3x or more what they get paid if they worked for commercial entities. Most are more than willing to take that 1/3rd pay cut just to do research because they feel they are doing more good.
Thats the main reason this argument generally comes across as so laughable to anyone who has ever worked in academic research.
They also live and die at the mercy of the political entities handing out Research Grants

No not really. Only about 10% of funding for scientific research is from grants.
