sunk costs oughta be immediately equitized
just as debt oughta be free to fall into a negative short term rate of interest
sunk cost the universal labor value wanna be
always operates at a deficit
in as much as it piles up as debt
a pure incubus
society needs to swap the cost of sunk costs for shares in the project/enterprise's residual stream
even if this involves cashing out some or even all of the compensation for the project/enterprise's sunk costs
the notion of a grant however seems too "liberal" a funding mechanism
to be pre dominant in funding r and d operations
the mechanism oughta be more complex time lagged and contingent on results
