    As an early career scientist, the poaching is only for leading scientists. So even with that a lot of people in US have to leave science, which was already bad because scientists made like half the salary of same expertise in an industry position.

      Uh no it’s not.

      It helps fund entire departments at universities.

      From associates to post docs. Everyone is fucked. Except non academia scientists that work for corporations in R&D.

      And even a large chunk of that is funded by government grants.
