I'm pretty sure that neither money saved today or tomorrow are factors in these cuts. This administration is out to grief science and scientists--it doesn't matter if it saves money or costs money. The whole point is hostility to science. It's not an economic decision.

Do you think I'm talking about "the administration" or "the people who support the administration"?

If you can't differentiate then we'll only be able to talk past one another

Is MAGA messaging on these NASA cuts?

My impression is these cuts are being done in the background. The beasts being fed are the military-industrial complex (specifically, its rotation from legacy providers to Silicon Valley) and ICE.

Grievance politics amplified by an assembly of the most astoundingly dumb people you’ve ever seen behind a podium

That’s it! That’s the strategy!
