@Kyresti It would do at least two things that don’t happen right now:
1. Actually pay grad students
2. Reduce or eliminate the cottage industry for federal grant hoarding
Given the amount of research done by overworked grad students that is currently turned around and resold by their university or research org, that would make a huge difference.
@Goldkin @Kyresti it would be a new golden age of learning when people don’t have to worry about where their next meal is coming from or whether they’ll have a roof over their heads next month.
