#Trump ousts National #Science Board members

Members of the independent board that guides the National Science Foundation [#NSF] said they received a notice from the White House that their positions were being terminated.

Multiple #scientists who serve on an independent board established to guide the nation’s nearly $9 billion basic science funding agency were terminated from their positions Friday by Trump.

@Nonilex He is such a moronic asshole.

@Nonilex Weidel, Chrupalla und Höcke haben vergleichbares auch schon angekündigt zu tun, wenn sie an die Macht kommen.
In den USA kann man das Sinken der Lebenserwartung dank Trump und Kennedy schon kommen sehen.

Ich hoffe, dass den Menschen reicht, was Frau Warken anrichtet. Ich zumindest wünsche mir sehr Herrn Professor Lauterbach zurück- es muss nicht noch schlimmer kommen, als das, was Merz und Konsorten heute schon anrichten.

This isn’t about dumbing down America, it’s is about dismantling it. These functions aren’t being replaced anywhere else and the super rich don’t care because they don’t know any better. They just think their AI is gonna do everything.

Oh don't you see, every budget cancelled, every job removed, every person fired and any money left he thinks is HIS and of course, since nobody fights anymore, it BECOMES HIS... "Stealing" is what we used to call it and there used to be laws that defined this as a major crime with this sort of thing but in a kleptocracy, POOF!

While it may be an anti-science mindset behind this, as well as ignorance of the payoff of science research, I think the primary motive is grift. Remove experts who will decide how the money should be spent so that it can be stolen easily.

It's clear that #47 wants a board of genuinely independent lackeys.
