      There’s a difference between the hear, and the now.

      But seriously, far too much of this publicly funded research is locked away behind high pay walls for no legitimate reasons.

          JFC what would it cost to pay researchers to review papers and have costs only be to cover those who want physical copies. Compare that number to the $75Billion for ICE specifically, between now and 2029

          $7.5 Million would probably cover it for the same period

          Think what the USA could have been
