Welp, goodbye all non-corporate RND in almost all scientific development.
Talk about a short-sighted admin.
It’s easy for old people to be short-sighted. They don’t have to take responsibility for fucking things up in the long term, because they’ll be dead.
Stable governments should elect people that have a reason to plan long term.
It's actually much worse than that. Those who fail to understand history are condemned to repeat it.

Trump is not just going to suppress real science, he will start actively promoting pseudo-science that he thinks will help him politically.
We've already got RFK doing that. The State Dept has also adopted pseudohistorical stances, and the Education Dept being cut is so they can teach those stances as fact.
