"I hope this medal makes up for 2024 being the year of highest oil production in US history. Which happened in defiance of all the climate science you've been trying to tell us about. You know, as part of the years of science education this award honors."

Somehow in spite of his negative comments he still gets the recognition he deserves from the authority structure. Whereas in the social mediasphere if he so much as Liked a disapproved tweet he would be crowd-demonized as The Enemy, his accomplishments would mean nothing, and saying anything good about him would be widely condemned.

On behalf of Raytheon, I thank you Jack. We need them kids studying STEM to keep the bombs flowin'. The name's Gill the Math Guy, right? That's what I had engraved on the medal.
