I hope this is true, with the attacks on science in the US, we’re really looking at falling backward here. I’m afraid we’ll lose good weather forecasting and GPS services very soon, to just name the low hanging fruit.

its true in some sense, if the pay goes out the window for scientist they will flee. theres already problems in the us getting people from undergrad to PHD(thats besides the current attack on it). such as wet lab work prior to graduation, plus who can even apply to grad school, if you dont have barely just to be under the requirements of grad schools. job prospects is low.

also grad school is more expensive since its not considered undergrad courses, and they charge more and you get no priority in classes. the biggest is wet lab work, where do you find it, catch 22

"intelligent people" are usually the first ones to be jailed or killed, and then they move on to blame POCs, and than other minorities.

They ‘other’ the educated very early with calling them ‘elite’ or ‘liberal’, then attack from there.

That's how Americans exercise their 2nd amendment outside of their schools.

You really don't want us pulling out the ammo box. There's a good reason we are still trying the soap and jury boxes. Every single time we pull out the ammo box, as a people, the entire world is affected. We don't really like that.

If you wear a pink shirt, it shows you're extra super serious.
