20/ The purpose of government is not to make you rich*.
Nor is it to stop you from becoming rich.
Rather, it is to ensure that you don't have to BE rich to be a full member of the community, with:
- physical safety
- economic stability
- democratic participation.
* or confer any Rawlsian advantage

Science funding is not government waste - see my opinion piece in the Lansing State Journal about why cuts to science funding are bad for Michigan. @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/opinio...
Viewpoint: Scientific research is not waste. Funding cuts will harm Michiganders, economy
In 2024, over $1 billion in NIH funding went to Michigan, supporting $2.57 billion in economic activity, according to United for Medical Research.

Every federal $1 spent on WHOISG creates nearly $6 in economic impacts that strengthen our #blueeconomy! 🌊💰 From training educators to supporting shellfish aquaculture to reducing flood insurance rates, a $1.3M federal investment in 2023 generated $7.6M. #seagrantimpacts @whoi.edu

A new study shows decline of butterfly numbers nationwide. But restoring native landscapes in hedgerows, roadsides and backyards “has great potential for increasing … suitable habitat for butterflies & other insects.” (pics: 2 declining species still in my habitat)

I noticed a lot of KBSers joining Bluesky lately, so I thought I’d make a starter pack to keep track of them.
