How Trump’s ‘fear factor’ is already improving American science

Image
Trump’s ‘Fear Factor’ Even before Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was confirmed as health secretary on Thursday, the Trump administration started bludgeoning the U.S government’s health care infrastructure — including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health — with one shuddering impact after another. The resulting fear among employees could reshape the government as much as the actions themselves. HOWEVER…. The Last Health Drama the Government Solved Was Polio Since the eradication of polio, the narrative has taken a dramatic turn, with government-paid scientists turning into villains of a sci-fi dystopia.

KYIV— In a dazzling display of wartime priorities , Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced his decision to cling tightly to Ukraine’s vast mineral wealth, even if it means another 300,000 Ukrainian boys have to die. According to Zelensky, freedom isn’t free—but apparently, it costs a little extra if it’s packed with lithium, titanium, and nickel. “Sources said that the Trump administration had proposed that Ukraine give the United States 50% ownership of the country’s rare earth minerals. In addition, the US also made it clear that it would be ready to deploy US troops to protect the minerals if an agreement was reached with Russia to end the war.” — Ukrainska Pravda “We must protect our natural resources at all costs,” Zelensky declared with a triumphant smile. “Even if those costs are...
