It's just depressing. Such a moronic & self sabotaging policy. I'd say people should look at the evidence on the returns from NSH & NSF funding but if people cared about basing policy on evidence we wouldn't be here in the first place.

How is studying a black hole going to make the rich richer? If it's not, then it's not worth doing. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. All of you poors should be less concerned about make believe spacey stuff, and figure out how to give more of your money to the rich.

I wish I was joking

Why is it getting hotter? Why has my house been washed away? Why did my kids die of measles?

God's will, I suppose. Best donate more to my megachurch.
