Enough is enough. It's time to pull the 🔌.
After the F-35 drama, the tariff insults, public mockery by Trump of the 🇨🇭 president, the technical inferiority of the Patriot missiles compared to the SAMP/T, 🇬🇱🇨🇦 invasion threats, the Pentagon's theft of European paid weapons destined to Ukraine to make up for the failures in Iran, and now the theft of money from the F-35 payments towards to patriot restocking…
🇨🇭should no longer be buying 🇺🇸 weapons.

Economists will tell you that price caps stop markets working properly... which is all very well, but when we can see that market society is not working well for the majority of the population, some focussed policy of price caps looks increasingly politically expedient (not least of all as there are all sorts of examples of prices caps not causing the economic sky to fall in).
Markets can be modified, have been modified and should be!

In Mexico and Spain, leaders who have capped public costs have been rewarded at the ballot box. As another cost of living surge arrives, it may be a policy our leaders are unable to resist, says Guardian columnist Andy Beckett

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't received any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since grants are typically for 3 years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.
In my 25-year career, I’ve never NOT had funding. I typically have 4 to 8 grants, which you need if you’re running an observation science program and have a technician, students, and postdocs.
