[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The entire administration is led by abusers so I guess no surprise. The question for me is what do we DO. Seems that the only way is to get the remotely gutsy republicans in senate and house to help stop this? 
Any other ideas? [/quote]

There has to be another mechanism for funding research.  Obviously there's private corporations doing research.   What kind of private foundations fund research and how do we get more money to them ? 
 You have to get away from any money that Trump can get his hands in so that you can do some proper research.[/quote]

Private research does almost zero primary research…it’s just not a feasible use of private funds to throw billions at say 10 different wild theories on how to create sustainable nuclear fusion.

A country needs to decide if primary research is in its best strategic interests or not.

China and Russia certainly believe in it.  [/quote]

Many decades ago IBM had its Watson lab that was more of a free floating research lab.  I think it’s dwindled down to nothing along with most of IBM’s R and D.  Private equity and Wall Street don’t want to invest in research that may take decades to pay off, or may end up being a dead end.  It’s really sad to think that America may stop being an engine of ingenuity because that is what has driven out success for the past 200 years, since at least the cotton gin.[/quote]
