It's not all scientists and engineers; the whole system with
its university and institute-based infrastructure is a major
source of employment and is a prime mover in the recent boom
in your state's economy.
Quite so; without that area, the state's economy wouldn't be what it is
now.
Support staff are valuable; there's also the infrastructure
that has to be maintained. In the '70s and '80s, my friend Jack
maintained that manufacturing and natural resources would give
way to intellectual assets in the development of our 21st century
economy. In large measure that has happened, with mining and
manufacturing leaving places like Minnesota and going to Asia
and South America and to some extent Africa, and our universities
being the great influencers worldwide at this time.
OTOH, Lidl seems to be making a big move to get themselves known, at least in this area.

looked at so askance, as testimony here demonstrates.
That's another area I've not gotten into.
Others here have and have touched on their experiences.
True, offer what you can, stand back when neccessary, rejoice when things go well, mourn when they don't.
The main reason for social institutions.
There are a good number of those. (G)
Public, private, profit and nonprofit. A whole lot.
be a bit of a higher chance of liver cancer, but I hope I
die of something else first, like old age.
You're working toward that end, as we all are.
Working toward and against it at the same time.
Something else we all attempt to one degree or another.

Toppin > But this looks like one to be devoured just out of the oven
hot. (G)
Not my thing. either, though I admit it looked okay.
Depends on your point of view--you're not as much of a bread eater
as we are.
I'd prefer it if we were given each day our daily beefteak.
... Growing old is mandatory... growing up is optional.
In some circles I run in, forbidden. Speaking of no cilantro,
here's a recipe for kids and those who can't stand the stuff:
Cut out the tomato and it would work for veggie haters in general. (G)
I'd want some avocado or similar to go along with it.
