BS governmental desperation to show any "result" (even if it is fake) is what brought us here. As scientist have to show more fake results to get more grants.

Removing the government from science could help, not the other way around.

Good luck with that sentiment here.

People just went through the last five years and will go to their graves defending what they saw first hand. To admit that maybe those moves and omissions weren’t helpful would be to admit their ideology was wrong. And that can not be.

You know you wrote this on the Internet? The thing the government created to do science?

a) anything that the government done for the internet was before science was corrupted by government b) what the government did for the internet was 1% of at the very, very best. And there is a chance so close to 100% that a similar thing would have been done without government even the 1% does not matter.
