Because no one spends as much on science as the US does, destroying NIH, NSF, NOAA, NASA, EPA, USDA, USGS, etc. is leading to a brain drain, but it's not to other countries but rather from science. This senseless destruction of US science will hurt the US and the world for a very long time.
To see why destroying the US science enterprise is so detrimental to the world, we have to realize that the US spends more on research and development than any other country in the world (by far), and if we remove China and Japan, the US spends almost as much as ALL other countries combined.
May 4, 2025 07:40There is one area of US government science that they have not come for yet, the crown jewels of American science, the 17 DOE National Labs including: Ames, Brookhaven, Fermilab, Lawrence Berkeley, Oak Ridge, Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, etc. The rumor here is that DOGE is coming this month.
I am now told that the rumor about DOGE coming this month is false.
That's exactly what THE MAGA RANO ANTI-SCIENCE CONSERVATIVE CRAZY CHRISTIAN LOW IQ NAZI CULT MEMBERS WANT. AN UNEDUCATED POPULATION THAT'S EASILY CONTROLLED BY THE BILLIONAIRE OLIGARCHY CLASS. SOON WE WILL BE HEARING ABOUT CLOSING PUBLIC SCHOOLS DUE TO FUNDS BEING SPENT ON PRIVATE ELITE SCHOOLS.
THIS PROCESS WILL START BY CLOSING RURAL SCHOOLS AND BUSING THEM TO LARGER SUBURBAN SCHOOLS WHO NOW HAVE MORE ROOM BECAUSE THE WEALTHIEST PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE NOW ATTENDING THE ELITE PRIVATE SCHOOLS WITH THEIR VOUCHER TAX PAYER MONEY THAT USE TO GO TO THE RURAL SCHOOLS THAT HAD TO CLOSE.
That’s why this boomer an eternal optimist is working daily to counter this madness.
Daily each of us must

Hopefully PPP means that the US funding isn't (ugh sorry, wasn't) quite so dominant in practice.
