    It’s so sad. Study after study have shown that the ROI on publicly funded research is anywhere from 20% to 100% depending on the industry.

    These morons don’t understand science enough to even realize how they benefit from it every day.

      Damn near everything in our modern world is a consequence of research. Why do people never realize this? Your phone is not just some magic object from the heavens.

        Yeah but, what’s science done for us all lately? Some scientists even say stuff that makes me uncomfortable and I don’t like it.

      yeah, but where do you think that information comes from? that’s right, research. it’s research papers all the way down.

      don’t get carried away by big research /s

                They’re heroes for saying they want to cut science funding, access to abortion, and sex education?

                How is doing any of those things going to fix inflation?

                  Yes, cut money to frivolous spending and focus on spending the few dollars they got to improve their country, not just a few life science majors

                    Cutting $400 million to fix an $80+ billion dollar budget is like cutting a $0.40 expense to fix an $80 bill.

                    It’s also incredibly absurd to insist that science only benefits scientists while using the internet.

                    Buckle in because you’re getting what you voted for.

        Oh man, you’re going for a reality check if you think that neo liberalism politics, anti science, climate change denial is going to solve any of your problems. Maybe it will solve, for the 1%.

          Nope, they are just the meek. Milei will indeed be a president for Argentina. Not for some party. Even if hyper right&religious like n idiot IT IS MERELY BETTER AS THE ALTERNATIVE CAREER POLITICIANS.

            Well only time will tell. I didn’t downvoat or upvoted your comment because no one knows.

            Who ever the hell tells you they got the answer are lying to you, no one knows

              Indeed. But HISTORY has already spoken.

              Dude, don’t be party-ist. Don’t compare with usa

              PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY IF INFLATION IS 150% FOR A YEAR.

              can you imagine several years?

              LITERALLY ALL SAVINGS WILL HAVE DISSAPPEARED.

              can you even begin to comprehend this…? If so, you’d QUICKLY leave your left wing rethoric and join WHATEVER SIDE gets rid of all those incapable career politicians… Dude…

              And please do downvote me if you are so inclined. I do not gather points here.

                  You are the one that does NOT understand anything mate.

                  Have you even ever BEEN to a country with 100%+ inflation per year for several years? If not, ANY point you make is just basement dweller brabbles

          Dude. You are arguing with people who are explicitly NOT tankies. Nobody is claiming communism is a solution, just saying that going for the anti-intellectual guy with no implementable policies is not going to help. He is a rent seeker that is good at riling up crowds.

          He is a populist.
