I was going to mention it seemed about right but it is worse than back then and I can't put my finger on why and I think you have found it for me. Since stem across the board is being hit it makes it that much worse than just a tech meltdown.

    It honestly feels like public science is collapsing within America. I expected cuts to atmospheric and oceanic science given that the Heritage Foundation (creators of Project 2025) said they were going to break up NOAA due to our "climate change alarmism". However, I didn't expect that nearly every field of science would also get defunded this year, especially medical research. Anti-intellectualism is destroying the United States :/
