It’s okay, research and discoveries will just move to China and EU etc. and the US will slowly fall behind the rest of the world.
The theme is stop all progress of society (& freeze the current status), ofc science (and environment?) is the devil.
“It’s heartbreaking,” she said. “There are people in my position making pragmatic decisions about their careers. There are people we will absolutely lose to industry, whose brilliance will go toward a company instead of public good.”
The wealthy will profit from knowledge while the public suffer in ignorance. This is the plan, though it’s stupid and short-sighted.
I hope other countries can provide a base for US scientists to continue their work for the public good. But it’s a shame the Republican plan to destroy the USA is working so quickly.
I wouldn’t be shocked to see China benefitting enormously from American brain drain
Everything Trump does seems designed to put the USA at a disadvantage against China and Russia. He’s stupid, but at some point you have to wonder how his stupidity can be so systematic.
Selling the country’s future out the back door because he was offered a cut and the people at the front door don’t get mad, they get jealous.
Definitely some stupidity in the doorways, as well as greed and malice.
A quarter of STEM workers are immigrants. With the crusade against immigrants they have a good reason to take their work somewhere else. It’s a good way to reduce the competitive edge of a country.
Making at least $100,000 after tax a year in a country with low living costs? You can bet on it.
As an American, good. They have their sins, but their people are educated, courteous, and prosocial. Our people are ignorant, hateful, and selfish.
Looking at that from a standpoint of what path is best for humanity? I’m ashamed of my nation’s values and people. My people reject knowledge and wisdom, I can’t stand with that.
The guillotines are long overdue
I can’t fucking do this everyday. Everyday it’s more doom and gloom. Nothing good will ever happen again and my kids will have to suffer. I don’t know what to do. I feel like the father in The Road. There is no hope.
I would recommend spending some time in !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com or in general in some solarpunk communities.
It’s hard to find hope when we can’t imagine a better world.
That’s how facists win, by crushing hope, by crushing the imagination of a better future.
Subbed
I mean this was the same the first go round with him. Every day a new generally bad thing. I would say its worse this time because of the congress and he had a cabinet all ready to go. Its going to be a marathon though.
It was not this bad. Despite being “prepared” this time it’s still worse.
oh no. I was saying it was worse. because he was prepared to got full tilt and has all his fantisies planned out to make real.
Sorry yeah I see that now
I have no more terror left to give I am sorry.
Nope. We knew exactly what was coming. This is what his supporters wanted, and now the winners make the rules.
not just supporters but also those who let perfect be the enemy of good.
hard to be more terrified than by the majority of our voting electorate not giving an ounce of fuck about genocide in gaza.
I find myself less concerned about the Palestinians than I was before the election. Their supporters’ insane decision to support Trump is one of the things that put him into office.
Trump is literally saying Gaza should be emptied of all Palestinians, so maybe you should be concerned. Look up the Trail of Tears if you want to know why.
I find it harder and harder to give a shit about Gaza when I am legitimately worried that Donald Trump will sign an executive order demanding my arrest any day now.
but you were ready to vote for it under harris’ gov… i suggest you never really cared.
So, who should someone who “really cared” have voted for? To you, a vote for either viable candidate signifies apathy to the Gazan struggle, so only a throw-away vote or not voting signify true caring? Is it even possible in your mind for an American voter to care about Palestinians and the fate of their own country?
third party =/= throwaway… did you know the republicans used to be a third party? you’re short-sighted in thinking a) anything will get better under democrats OR republicans in their current iteration and b) if i can’t have immediate change, everything i do is moot.
When the primaries are over and there’s no viable third party candidate in the running, yes, third party vote = throwaway vote. Your idealist thinking is what’s short-sighted.
yeah let’s talk about primaries… :D lol
‘raises hand’ I’m terrified.
