Working in a grant funded research lab is not really a get rich scheme.

Agree. But Republicans haven’t been interested in the least in science or research. When I say their view of education is vocational, I mean they see it as a means to earn money, not as the pursuit of knowledge. https://www.chronicle.com/article/the-day-the-purpose-of-college-changed/

Slight slight correction: “…as preparation for work that will elevate the (EMPLOYER’S) income.” They couldn’t care less about us as individuals, just money makers for them.

Especially on H-1B visas that keep them here as indentured slaves, or they are sent back to their country. Yeah, Elon’s all for immigrants for cheap tech workers.

He fired folks at xhitter that aren't here on an H-1B.
