Science is, after all, one of the ways America has been considered great, until recently. Kneecapping future discoveries in every scientific discipline hands off the ball firstly to China, and it becomes their game from then on. </p><p>Why would such a stable genius choose this path? What is there to gain by tossing aside the big brains, the funds already invested, the future? </p><p>Given his slavish commitment to cruelty I can understand shuttering social services and all he & his cabal consider “entitlements.” Ditching science makes no sense in any sane world. </p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/StopTrumpNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopTrumpNow</span></a> <br><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/StopElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopElonMusk</span></a> <br><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ImpeachTrump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ImpeachTrump</span></a> <br><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspol</span></a></p>
