    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.

                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?

              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.

          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.

      Is it in reaction to everything getting scary? It’s such a seductive alternative to accepting that we’re fucked - just put your faith in someone who says it’s all untrue. A cartoon parent figure to comfort you as the word burns.

      I can’t put into words what I think about people who even doubt climate change, let alone deny its existence. I just… if the data isn’t enough, I honestly don’t know what to say.

        How about the people that welcome climate change? So much rain in California it kept the Jewish Space Lasers from igniting the forests this year.

        In Michigan Deer season starts on November 15, and this year it was 60°F where I am. I mowed the lawn Saturday. I’ve never seen t-shirt weather this late in the year. I’m a little terrified this warm weather is going to bury us in snow come January.

          Current forecast for my location in southern Saskatchewan is 11°C (52F) for a high. About 6 weeks ago, we got a proper start to winter with a few cm of snow (maybe 1.5 in) and thought was given to plugging in the block heater. That was it.

          Since then, temperatures have been a bit below freezing overnight and a bit over freezing during the day, with quite a few days like today, where it’s way above freezing. Any sloughs and dugouts that had started freezing over are now pretty much ice free. The last few days have been nice enough for people to put their boats in to go fishing.

          We heat with a pellet stove. So far, our pellet consumption is about 50% of last year’s, about 30% of our worst year, and about 35% of our 15 year average.

          And apart from a “cooler” day tomorrow with a small chance of snow, there is no end in sight. Even assuming that we get back to something normal by Xmas, it could be February before it’s safe to go ice fishing.
