Things may be bad in the UK with the government increasingly screwing over the poor while letting tax evaders walk free and continuing to spend money they don't have on white elephants, but at least it's not as bad as throwing a hissy fit because you can't agree on a compromise. (Although we don't have a decent left-wing opposition any more, anyway...)

put me in charge and we'll go so far left you'll think we've done a 360.

Among the non-essential services currently being ransomed is science. All of it. The NSF is shut down, Pubmed is off-line, NASA has closed it's doors, everyone who isn't keeping the ISS astronauts safe is on unexpected vacation. Curiosity is taking a furlough in safe mode on Mars. The USDA is down and out. NIH is on a skeleton crew. According to Francis Collins they'd had to turn away 200 people due for clinic trials this week, including 30 kids, most of them cancer patients. |
so another dark age then?
if all these top scientists and shit made a false religion, like The Faith of Science or some shit, made it that furthering the bounderies of science was their way of praising The Science God, and actually managed to pull this off and have it as a religion, would that mean people wouldn't be able to just pull funding and stop work because of it being a religion and all? or does work come before god?
or is that a stupid question?
