This gem caught my eye. Science research is valued EXACTLY as it should be. In a free market demand and supply set prices, and the demand/supply of scientists is at the level where their pay is what it should be.
It seems you are not feeling the Bern. If the government in all its wisdom says all scientists are worth $1 million per year, then that is their worth. I think it will be written into Bernie’s first Five Year Plan.
You and your antiquated notions about the invisible hand...bah!
Very good point.
