Shutdown Demonstrates How “Vital” Government Scientists Are… NOT
9th January 2019
Guest laugh by David Middleton.
So… NASA and the EPA can maintain essential operations with only 5% of their workforce, evolutionary biologists are nonessential drains on the taxpayers, NOAA meteorologists can’t attend the American Meteorological Society convention on the taxpayers’ dime… Maybe I’m just a bit jaded, but how does the word “vital” fit in here? Can you think of a better example of a nonessential government employee than an evolutionary biologist?
The ugly underside of the rock is the assumption that if the government doesn’t fund science then no science will get done. Certainly that has become the expectation among scientists in these degenerate modern times.
