If I didn't want companies focused on making money to exclusively target the life sciences, I would simply fund literally anything or everything else commensurately with how much money is thrown at the life sciences for the sheer garbage they actually practice and produce. Don't like it?

NSF annual budget (pre-Trump): ~$6-8 billion

NIH annual budget (pre-Trump) ~$50 billion

There it is.
