Then, perhaps to build another Trump golf in some field of ruins...
It goes to PEOPLE. WHOI is one of--if not the--biggest employer in the Woods Hole/Falmouth area. Obvs they employ scientists, but also admins, janitors, etc., and support local economy.
It's not just these places, and not just NSF funding. Universities & research communities that rely on NSF, NIH, NOAA, NASA, etc., in blue AND red states will be affected.

Would the fourth one be for, I don't know, vulcanology, or solar measurements or something? Because if so we're at the point of the movie where they have to join hands to save the planet.
But I do like where you're going with that...
