Spoke to a scientist friend today and asked him about Trump’s anti-science campaign & his attacks on universities?

He replied, I don’t think Americans realize that even if we somehow stopped Trump now, he’s already set the USA back at least 20-30 years in scientific research. And given he still has 3 more years, we may not recover from this for half a century or more.

This Economist data is from 6 months ago. You can imagine how much worse it is now.😳

@QasimRashid I always wondered why even have "small government", but the less government the less the very rich would have to pay taxes. They also get tax cuts. The trickle down never happens, instead the Evil Corp builds a space laser at some private islands to destroy the Moon and massacur excess labor with some Moonraker grade virus.
