“American progress in peril”

“The U.S. is freezing research funding, canceling projects, firing thousands of federal scientists and creating an atmosphere of uncertainty that scientists warn could slam the brakes on progress.”

“Funding resources, top-notch universities, research freedom and a diverse culture that supports innovation are among the factors that have made the U.S. a global magnet for scientists.”

“The U.S. could see a two-fold brain drain: fewer foreign scientists coming to America, and American talent heading to other countries. Three-quarters of the 1,600 scientists surveyed in a new poll from Nature said they are considering leaving the U.S. due to the disruptions to science caused by the Trump administration's early actions.”

A brain drain, one similar to what the U.S. benefited from during and after WWII when scientists as Einstein left Europe and immigrated to the United States

But, but, but MAGA ain’t gong to fund no university if they mention race or slavery anywhere in their curriculum

Trump always said he loves the uneducated, but when driving away the educated leads to progress stalling it won’t be “Biden’s fault”

Ah, who is going to sponsor major research?

Guess he ^ missed the “two-fold brain drain: fewer foreign scientists coming to America, and American talent heading to other countries.”

I have no idea. Explain why it has to be the govt? That's what was put before you.

Because no one else has the interest nor financial capacity, did you think the Manhattan Project was created and funded by mail in continuations

Then maybe we shouldn't be funding it. The Manhattan project was a national security issue. The federal govt has constitutional authority over national security issues.

Which is why they have to fund research, and not just for national security, but also health and educational reasons. Did you think cancer research was done in some building in DC?

I see you aren't aware of Trump's 5 million dollar gift card that he gets from those foreign people who have high skills, and will
gain green card status for their contributions to America's high end jobs--mostly in the high tech field.

Research into what?

Poor anchovies,

Research for what?

The article you cite is typical of more and more articles knocking Trump, DOGE, and federal funding cuts in that it is completely one-sided. In fact, everything you cite in the above post is that way. All of it argues entirely from the POV of those affected by the cuts.

Then maybe it isn't necessary. The Manhattan Project was about national security and warfighting. What did the research projects that were axed for and what did they do to further national and federal interests?

This bit is from the Axios article:

• France's Aix Marseille University has earmarked millions of dollars to hire U.S. scientists. Université Paris Sciences et Lettres wants to recruit U.S. researchers who work in projects in areas targeted for cuts by the Trump administration, including climate science and gender studies, the N.Y. Times reports.

Good! Let the French waste THEIR money on that bullshit!

Those corporations you get so upset about how much money they make from the research? They'll make less if they have to fund it, you should be happier.

Not true, everyone should care about America falling behind the world in research and discovery

That program always existed, Trump didn’t do anything new, just a photo op
