Nobody wants to pay higher taxes to create a sandbox for eggheads.
That never stops the crooked politicians. Ever hear of DRI?
A Nevada government owned and operated research lab whose business model is winning politically controlled federal government grants is the OPPOSITE of entrepreneurial.
Research is an uncertain activity best left to the *private* sector. DRI's full-time researchers don't teach. They train career-track research graduate students and post-docs. They pay themselves huge salaries. For instance, President Wells makes ~$320K/yr. That's right.
Academic welfare.
DRI also has the usual political structure, including a "Diversity Office". We pay for their clubby desert playground. They have all the fun and get rich in the process. Outrageous!
