Also, they're shutting down the entire Minerva program and terminating many current awards that are squarely on traditional 'warfighting', that's a cherry picked list out of the cuts
Seems like if the Trump Administration was really worried about immigration they would want to understand the underlying causing of south-north migration in Central America.
Don’t forget that T-Bag & M will take their big chainsaws and cut down all the trees on lands. Why study climate change when you want to rape, pillage, and steal every corner of the earth?
Part of the reason Russia is intervening in the Sahel is because climate change will only increase migration and controlling & directing that migration is like aiming a firehose of destabilization at Europe.
My theory on this is that the tech oligarchs believe they are close to an AI future where all of this research is performed by computers. Computers they own and can therefore patent and sell anything they create. All this defunding is meant to slow down research work so their bots can catch up
I think that's called wilful blindness, Don. It's everywhere around the world. It's never time to talk about mass shootings and their relationship to gun laws or extreme weather events and climate change either, apparently.
