gollark: It would be neat if you could *sell* unemployment too.
gollark: Hmm, yes, fair point. Split the research in half and make *half* of it public and the *other* half not public!
gollark: This is a time in which it would be totally possible to just stick the PDFs (or EPUBs/HTML, which are superior) on a website or something at reasonably low cost.
gollark: If it's publicly funded, it should be available to anyone (at least anyone in the country), at no cost.
gollark: Yes, which is bad.
