Capitalism is a rigged system and eventually you reach a point where all the failures who have been rewarded over and over control everything from the economy to nation states and then everyone has to suffer from their worsening failures until there’s a major change.

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut.

This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.
