>Give us what we want or... we'll quit our degrees and throw away years of our lives?

Give us what we want or you have no teachers and your research output drops to near-zero. Most of the actual work of scientific research is done by what we politely euphemize as "early career researchers" or "junior authors": grad-students and postdocs. Tenured and tenure-track professors don't do the bulk of the bench-work, even when they really enjoy it.



But if they don't do any research they will kill their own careers as well.


Kinda like how when you're a worker, not doing any work kills your career. Every strike is a risk.
