Republicans continue to inflict generational damage on research in the name of cost-cutting, but costs aren't being cut. They're not even paying down the federal debt. Instead, they're going to take on more debt while redirecting research funds to foreign labor camps and domestic occupation armies.

"...𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵-𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨" Please, *please* tell me you haven't bought into that patently bullshit, lie. Or maybe you're just OK, catapulting fascist propaganda. Either way, folks reading your comment should know: They're cutting science because they are anti-knowledge, like all fascists

"In the name of cost-cutting" means that's the claimed reason. Max knows it's a pretext and I know he knows that because I understand subtext.

This can be applied to almost any topic right now: Half the population see a need, but don't understand why it has to go so far. The other half despise every fucking thing about it
