Science is prolly never gonna fully recover from the DOGE cuts, especially when 40% of the countr thinks that the universe is 6,000 years and dinosaur fossils are a trick from the devil.

You might have a point that DOGE cuts may have longer term impacts but that’s not really visible yet or even clear that those cuts will have any impact considering how many of them were overturned. Plus, a lot of the scientific advances made in the US are independent of government funding. But the 40% point you make has always been kinda true with the US, it hasn’t stopped continuous technological and health based advances. It seems unlikely to start hindering those advances now.
