So you're against the social safety net. |
That was my sibling too but only one of their kids do nih funded research (at a major research hospital), and she’s fighting tooth and nail. Their other kids went into industry and are pretty comfortable and also doing important work to help humanity. I’m not throwing shade at people who go into big pharma. They gave us the shingles vaccine, tremendous advances in cancer drug and diabetes drugs, etc. I’m really upset about what’s happening with nih but pharma has long played a really important part in getting life saving medicines to market. I don’t even really fault pharma on the prices — when you see how much they have to put into labs in order to get one successful product, it’s sort of amazing it doesn’t cost more. And when you compare it to what the defense industry charges for planes or whatever, again it seems like a bargain. |

You're wishing death to half your countrymen and yet you're supposed to be the "good" one? I am not impressed. |
| Aren't research dollars dying out? Even if a student had those ambitions, I don't think the opportunity is really there anymore. |
No one cares if you’re impressed. Because you’re the problem. |

The left does not want to teach Algebra. The right does not want to teach Evolution.
Both are idiots. Woke idiots and MAGA cucks. |
