A PhD doesn't guarantee you can tie your shoe.

From....2015

From.... CNN in 2020 (https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/17/world/science-engineering-downfall-us-scn-trnd/index.html)
The US was once the uncontested world leader in science and engineering. That’s changed, according to a federal report
The US global share of research and development has declined to 25%, according to the report. Asian countries are increasing their global share by focusing on rapid growth efforts in comparison to modest efforts by the US. China has contributed nearly a third of the total growth in global research and development since 2000. The report projects that China will be the likely leader in that area.
“In 2017, the economies of East-Southeast and South Asia collectively accounted for 42% of global R&D [research and development] expenditures, higher than the United States (25%) and the EU (20%),” according to the report.
But suddenly.... ORANGEMANBAD!!!!111!!!!!

Decades of denigrating people working in the sciences as nerds and social misfits has born and is bearing predictable fruit.
Contrary to the H-1B visa myth, Starchucks and Peets and Dutch Bros aren't employing as baristas hordes of engineers and etc. displaced by H-1B visa engineers and etc.. Those H-1B visa engineers and etc. are largely "taking the places" of American choosing not to go into STEM careers.

Looks like someone's pointless and wasteful "research" grant was pulled back and now he has to fire his assistants.

Why do I get the feeling this is another one of these "I'm a conservative, but here's a bunch of left-wing talking points" nonsense stories? Is it because there are no specifics about how Trump is destroying STEM fields? Or the fact that the left isn't good at much other than information warfare?

I'm on X. I saw that post and many are calling him out on it.

:bouncy:-fiction - like GoogTube Karen stories and fiction - tend to fall into obviously copy-catted patterns. Rando-strangers lash out in political talking-points-scripted anger or expressions of regret at Walmart or Piggly Wiggly or Target or a gas station or a fast food store (not CfA, because Progs hates CfA, Precious, they hates them :tongue: ) - conversations in public places that would never happen in real life.
