We told you so:
Smart people vote with their feet. [you betcha]
-- Donald Hughes McElhone, Ph.D.[statistics, Iowa State]/1975
Yet another, although not near enough of them, example from
the NYT on the exodus.
Malik wasn't looking to uproot his life and move abroad. He was married with three children, and his parents lived in Washington. But with President Trump slashing science research, Malik rolled the dice.
"I had friends who lost their jobs," he said. "I saw that happening in real time. I thought, 'Let me entertain this.'"
Of course, those whose ox is getting gored have noticed
Experts are sounding the alarm. A study in September by the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a Washington think tank, warned that without a reversal, the cuts to science could shrink the U.S. economy by nearly $1 trillion over 10 years. That could leave the U.S. lagging behind China, which is investing heavily in research.
And, and there's always an and, a recent report
from Fierce Biotech on the attack on medical science. "A fucking moron"
©Tillerson, and his toadies, really do want to turn this previously intelligent country into the antebellum United States of Alabama.
This time around, the White House said executing on the AHA would bring about $5 billion of savings by consolidating or eliminating subagency programs that "duplicate other Federal spending, promote radicalized [diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)] ideologies or use taxpayer funds to support radical nonprofits that are not aligned with Administration policies."
"aligned with Administration policies" is just code for Make America White Again. Well... and evangelical (it never has been more than cults), old, rural, and male.
