This is a gutting of the scientific research establishment which has created much of American prosperity since World War II, when the US used the promise of survival and stable funding to lure academics from Germany.
It was just HHS a few days ago… Then it came for NSF… Then this happened
I know the official memo claims this is “temporary” but there is literally no way this would end well. Heck there was at least one clinical trial terminated because of the “temporary” HHS pause, and this burden is on the entire country now
I envisioned for the worst when Trump was elected… and somehow this administration has managed to exceed some of my wildest expectations
Thankfully a federal judge blocked this from taking affect for all open awards until Monday. This gives time for other lawsuits to be filled to block it completely, as this is entirely unconstitutional.
I thought it would all be slower, so there is less risk of immediately crashing the economy… Apparently not.
Gotta crash the economy so the rich can swoop in and collect the last of the holdputs whonstill own homes instead of rent.
