Powerful piece in the Economist recently, “MAGA’s assault on science is an act of grievous self-harm.” In it, the editors note that the Trump Administration’s current attack on science is among the worst things that’s ever happened to the United States. It is driving the best researchers out of the country, and depriving us of myriad scientific and technical advances – the sort of thing that builds economies and prosperity.
It concludes (chillingly) that what Trump and his minions are doing is effectively turning over the future to China, and anyone else who might hate us.
