The National Science Foundation fired all its experts.
The National Science Foundation. Fired. All of its. Experts.
And they weren't even told to! The leadership worked toward the Fuhrer and went beyond the cuts demanded of them in anticipation of many, many more firingsβup to *half* its staff.

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Muskβs staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal governmentβs computer systems.
This is what I think of as a specific kind of ignorance that heavily affects young white guys who work in tech. It says βi donβt know about this, so I assume no one else does either.β Itβs new to them, so it must be new to everybody!
