Our wobbly democracy is worth the fight.

Vermonter, mom, dog lover, believe in liberty and justice for all, science and weather geek, enjoy singing and my Martin guitar. A good hike can fix a lot of things. Curiosity is almost always better than fear.
Strange how there is no reporting on how they are recruited.

Let’s assume 2 million federal employees have spent an hour apiece dealing with this. Now let’s conservatively estimate an average rate of $30/hour. That’s what, $60 million spent on this folly.

Most of the country is as tolerant as ever. The government, not so much.

Reminds me of bomb threats at polls on election night …

We need more of this. Lots more.

I find myself dreaming about a coffee klatch where the fired CIA and FBI agents get together to chat.

Sure, but you asked for opinions. (My answer came from the regular peer reviewer across the room from me.) The stakes between a scientific study and a book review are quite different.
February 6, 2025 at 2:28 PM
No. This would pressure reviewers to consider things (e.g., reputation, personal contacts, corporate and professional affiliations, etc.) besides the science.

I understand the booing. Would it be too much to ask this to be escalated to mooning?

So these folks get to arbitrarily choose who is and isn’t worthy?
