      And in the meantime Trump is destroying America at a record pace.

      America is gonna blink and then China will be miles ahead.

      America needed well placed, strategic policies to support domestic manufacturing decades ago. Now numbskulls started seeing that those jobs should be in the states. Republicans capitalized on that to get elected to attempt it in the worst possible and most destructive possible way.

    All good. DoD just put out a DRP 2.0 with talk being that there will be no exemptions made since this is straight from the SecDef this time. Already know people that took the first one with non-defense jobs lined up now getting 2 paychecks until the end of September. DRP 2.0 is going to be way bigger than the first one

        The vast majority of people have no idea how much turmoil there’s been in federal backed research and development. Even stuff like wildland firefighter’s getting workforce hit right before fire season is about to begin. Friends that did bioengineering (lab grown food and lab grown organ research) for private companies that have been laid off because of federal grants cuts/uncertainty

          I know it’s bad. My wife is a researcher at a non-profit that relies greatly on federal grants, which are getting killed left & right, and so her company is laying off left & right.
