And still some people think it will be fine in 3.5 years.

Or another way to look at it- cutting nearly 75% of scientists. Can't have climate change if there's no one working! Watch them find some money to give to ExxonMobile to 'study' the impacts of fossil fuels. Wonder what that report will say! /s

Never played a conquest game where you stop researchers from giving your empire a tech advantage over others.

Has an empire ever been so complicit in their own demise?

Speed running towards Idiocracy by 2028

That's only the half of it. Look at the rest of the policies, look how they want to cut Medicare and food stamps and other safety net programs.

Make no mistake, this administration wants to see people die.

This is the end game the technocrats have been working towards, this is how they're enacting their eugenics. They want poor people, disabled people, disadvantaged people, to die. They believe they are culling the weak members of the herd for the sake of the betterment of "their" kind (rich, white, "healthy", etc).

These policies aren't stupid or ineffective, they are cruel and insidious by design

Hey Europe and Canada, anyone still looking for a scientist that just wants to do lab work? I prefer chemistry, but am happy with micro too. Just let me interpret data, please. I'm stuck somewhere where titrations are the most complex process.

If you can get out, now's the time.

If not, now's the time to buy guns and ammo.

A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, are incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

As non-american I'm becoming increasingly convinced republicans are actually lead by traitors wanting to destroy the US.

Brain drain is a difficult downward spiral to break out of once it starts.

This is a huge opportunity for countries who always played second fiddle in science and tech.

Welcome to Europe, researchers!

Lots of great choices and don't worry, you can move to France without knowing French or Denmark without knowing Danish!

A country for REAL (white Christian male) Americans.

When are you people going to get the message. It was never a country that was about equality. It was about enrichment for a select group of people. When their privilege was threatened, the veil came off.

None of this changes until the rest of America decides enough is enough. That might never happen. If it does, it won't be for years or decades.

The US died on Jan 20th, 2025.

Europe will welcome them with open arms.

People starts to realize that having a higher wage in the US doesn't translate into a better quality of life.

The country built on brain drain, assumes it is great without the brain.

I hope the scientist find favorable places that value science.

The times, they are a'changing

Death to IMPERIALISM

Death to CAPITALISM

Death to FASCISM

Death to MAGA

Wait, the bottom ones are PreK-12 students.

How are they planning to reduce the number of children?

Is this why they hired RFK?

Why a quarter, isn't it more then a third? Edit: Sorry, i misread it that they would want to get rid of a quarter of their people and omitted the million.

Making everywhere else, great again.

I thought science memes were funny, not soul crushing 🤕

I've figured this out. If MAGA gets rid of all the smart people, they won't seem as dumb anymore!
