I know it's not a popular topic around here, but I'm confused that corporate taxes are not mentioned at all. Wasn't one major incentive for creating research labs that such investments in R&D were tax deductible, and the drastic lowering of these taxes since the 80s made that point moot?

Iām surprised you are the only one mentioning this. You change the rules of the game, you change the game.
