@norway_cb @vupine @Catniptwoshoes I mean your tacit argument seems based on a string of logical fallacies but it’s also not even true – authors prefer people read their books than not, even when their life and health in no way depends on it

@notimnotandrei @JebbyMc didn’t used to be that way, the days of Bell Labs were times of astronomically high corporate tax rates, and you could write the research off. When they lowered corporate taxes everything changed.

@notimnotandrei @JebbyMc actually very small amounts of research are funded by private corporations; new tech tends to come largely from government research, of from the non-profit sector which is also much large than that of private corporations.
