The consequences of the attack on S&T is clear. NSF cuts are the most impactful bc we are the major funder for discovery science in the US. Social sciences are the most at risk and the most critical bc you can't advance anything without knowing people.

The guy who plays golf during work hours, remote works, and outsourced his work to a tech bro claims: “Nobody is gonna work from home,” Trump said Monday. “They are gonna be going out, they’re gonna play tennis, they’re gonna play golf, they’re gonna do a lot of things. They’re not working.”
