But, I assume we can all agree that the federal government should cut all funding for the arts before it cuts funding for science, correct? Let the billionaire oligarchs fund the arts directly, not with our tax dollars.

...Elon apparently has no idea what a 'Pareto Chart' looks like.

I am not going to bother with trying to explain this to a guy who hears the word "science" from a left wing site and accepts it without question, but who does not have the knowledge base nor intellect to be able to evaluate it on his own.

Suffice it to say that I personally do have that capability, and when I explained it to you during COVID, you scoffed. Later, when I have been proven right on every single medical/scientific point that I made, you still chose not to believe it.

Thus, it is a waste of time for me to explain this to you. But to those out there who might read this, there is a problematic number of faked papers, and a large number of useless studies that suck up money better given to grants elsewhere.
This is largely due to 1) the way our university system is set up and it's pressures for publication without regard for value, and 2) the almost complete lack of rigorous quality control from these universities.

For many people in this system, the gravy train is over. Working through the research divisions with an eye for merit and productivity should allow us to refund meaningful researchers in a way that will drive innovation forward as well a clear up the misleading false studies that can lead legitimate researchers down a wrong path that can prove critically wasteful of time and resources.

Trust me, each university knows who their money researchers in important areas of research are.

Chris posted a couple days ago about cutting funding for medical research.

I believe in a compassionate and kind hearted America. You celebrate every unauthorized DOGE spending cut as another dead gladiator at the coliseum.

Please don’t pretend you are suddenly a principled American. You are not.

You'd know this if you weren't sucking off the teet of the TDS MSM.
Academia has been one of the sacrosanct, yet their fraud and waste is legendary. Your lying information sources are at it again-spinning the worst possible story about this, and completely skipping over the need for it and its' advantages.

You do not want to help children in need of treatment more than me.
You do not work in this field nor have you had experience in it.
I am immensely more knowledgeable on this topic than you.
You are wrong again.

My pertinent response and link to the problem this addresses and why it needs to occur.

Just like Jesus said, "Always lobby government to fund everything. Private charity is worthless."

As with other cuts, those researchers receiving future grants will have their work better vetted so that the money can go to good research rather than garbage (of which there is a lot, and this has been acknowledged as a significant problem right now by the scientific community).
It takes years for medical research to make its' way through the "pipeline", and this should not significantly slow results for patients. In fact, by culling out the false data, it could markedly increase the speed with which new treatments from research can come to bare. There is tremendous harm to bad research and the delays and pursuit of dead ends as well as the decisions not to pursue good avenues that otherwise might have been. This is needed. Research will not "just stop", it will undergo the same evaluation for quality that they rest of the govt funding is going to be subjected to, and it will result in more money for the better researchers.

I've included an interesting link on the topic...it is one of MANY articles on the problem being addressed here.

and then report it on a case by case basis....from Baron's link...
-------------------
HOW CAN WE STRENGTHEN RESEARCH MISCONDUCT AND FRAUD DETECTION?

Role of IRBs/ECs should be strengthened in safeguarding interest of research participants. They should have internal control and review mechanisms for monitoring the ethical and quality aspects of ongoing studies. Existing regulations if any must be simplified and made more effective. Should there be no existing regulations, they must be put in place to manage fraudulent issues. All organizations who are involved in clinical research should have clear operational policies and procedures for approach to research misconduct and fraud. Whistle blowers should be cultivated and there should be guidelines agreed upon internationally to safeguard them.

Trump and Musk are going about cost cutting the Wrong Way. Again, Baron fails to read his own link...or disregards its findings altogether.
