I don't see a conspiracy as much as I see a system.
A reminder--there are leading edge and spin off companies that
have some incredible potential. I've seen half a dozen reported
in the scientific announcements on this list. If you want to support
them...buy their stock :-)
When I worked in research labs I saw a number of new technologies
and the startup companies (70's). Medtronics rented space in our facility,
in collaboration with the U, while they built their own labs for pace
maker development. Satellite digital imaging (now taken for granted
with every weather report). Various drugs we now take for granted.
The list of course is long. Kick myself time.
A story was once told about one of our lab techs (60's) that moved
to a job in Chicago with experience in turkey fertility studies.
Later he bought into the world's first commercial sperm bank...
and you guessed it -- got rich.
There are companies out there that would be glad to market "the cure".
I'm sure their stock would skyrocket.
Some bigger companies may prefer the stability of the status quo, but,
most of their stability is in diversity, many products, marketing
infrastructure, etc. Losing some to an upstart won't put them out of business.
I'd better quit going on and go do some chores.
