What funding? We don't fund projects, nor people. The feds refuse to tax the largest companies their fair share, while those companies profit heavily from public education and refuse to give back. There are far too many U.S. uni's, very reputable names, that gobble up tuition money and it never sees a lab. No equipment, no expertise, overwhelmingly it's people sitting on a guaranteed government paycheck with their union guaranteeing they're going to sit there and do the minimum possible. Those taxes come out of my paycheck, not pharma, or silicon valley.

Reminder if you attended a uni in 2010 the tuition has now doubled to tripled on average, and the quality of education has vastly diminished. Silicon valley is funding labs themselves because uni's have become freeloading institutions we have to defund but are too scared to.
