Careful there. You can only propose such surveys when it serves the narrative and in certain places and not all, see southern/eastern regions of Ukraine.

> I want pharma and medical innovation to be huge money makers. I want founders and early employees in companies that innovate in these spaces to be fabulously wealthy.
