    R&D used to be done at universities for the benefit of all. It still often is.

    Why should it all be in private hands?

      Good luck moving literally all R&D to universities I guess

      I don’t think all research should be in private hands. But I don’t think it’s reasonable to assume we could move businesses to a crowd funding model and then somehow convince universities to do all of that R&D
