I mean really. Each and everyone of the Trump appointees is a joke. No reputable scientist or clinician would spread such drivel.

NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

I mean it's not this simple but a handful of policy elites really did drastically reengineer our urban fabric in ways that were popular in the immediate term and created massive social dysfunction beyond that.
Because a lot of leftists/progressives have pseudo conspiratorial models of reality where they think the only reason Americans live in suburbs is bc GM tore up the streetcar lines in LA etc.

Suburbanization was absolutely inevitable in the post-war period, but the fact that it took the form of automotive suburbs rather than streetcar and rail suburbs in most of the country is a legacy of planning, and denser rail suburbs are often the most sought-after neighborhoods.

This means NSF dissertation improvement grants in the social sciences are simply...not happening.
NEW from me - NSF cancels grant scheme for social science research.
Seems the NSF quietly archived ALL calls for DDRIG grants in the SBE directorate. This is a massive blow for PhD students wanting to do cutting-edge social science research. 🏺🧪

I fully agree from an intellectual and philosophical point of view. I'd also add the idea fails on its own terms: "the market" is a shorthand for "company demand" which isn't always aligned with the long-term interest of students. 1/

In sum, calling for university curricula to “adapt to the market” is not neutral reform. It’s a normative position that privileges one cognitive interest over the others.
