This. Is. Batshit. We are pulling a 1960s China.
Seconding condolences from Scotland, gutting the sciences is genuinely painful to watch
remarkable how the _land of innovation_ keeps innovating new ways to shoot itself in the foot.
from outside the us, it’s honestly surreal watching a country throttle its own scientists under the banner of “fiscal discipline.” guess that’s one way to deflate global innovation.
How’s this supposed to make y’all great again? Is this all that “winning” I’ve heard about?
