Yes. People conducting cutting-edge research should receive suitable compensation. Don't see a problem with that.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 12 hours ago

yea thats the only reason, just higher salary only if it matches the HCOL in there area, otherwise they wouldnt have come here.

& then that research gets gatekept by said country, do you agree to that

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 12 hours ago

its gatekeeped in alot of ways, its complex issue stemming back to undergrad. not only because of recent anti-science, and anti-dei initiatives, which adds to the problem.

I wasn't aware that publishing peer-reviewed work for anybody to read was "gatekeeping".

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 12 hours ago

thats only 1 part of the issue, its a minor but important part.

I said countries (as in governments & corporations)

[–] Lumbardo@reddthat.com 1 points 17 hours ago

Research related to National Defense are usually kept confidential, and corporations have an incentive to not share there research to maintain competitive with their competitors. Neither of these seem out of the ordinary regardless of where you are on the globe.

Even still. The US government funds various institutions that share their research publicly, so I am not sure where you are really going with this.
