Shit like this is why it’s hard to me to believe in a “comeback” for the U.S anytime in the next 50 years. This is a major victory for the right, for corporations, for anyone who hates education, etc. the people involved are gonna find new jobs, move on. Even if the next president reinstates funding for this type of stuff, it’ll be a decade before it has time to matter at least. And let’s be honest, most likely the next president, whoever it is, will not be reinstating this funding.
