Source please? I've done research, even gotten a grant to conduct research (which doesn't always produce results btw), but I wasn't driving around in a Porsche and retiring to my mansion after partying all day on free money. Most research is conducted by poor grad and pjs students overseen by phd professors and specialists, often doing baxk breaking work collecting data, spending extended time in the field, this is especially true for climate, geology, bilology, and many similar fields. I mean the military gets all kinds of grants too, right? Just more money given by the government right?, and I bet you have a love affair with them and all soldiers/sailors/marines/airmen/etc. I served in the military too but what I see is that you simply don't agree with the conclusions of one group, so you attempt to marginalized them and ignore any findings, only choosing to acknowledge what might support your beliefs.
