Poll - Total Votes: 56
We don't need scientists in the US, we have a very stable genius as a president.
Science is fake news anyway.
The MAGA battle against science will damage the US’s reputation globally.

Yep totally. I was struggling to fill some post grad posts because UK made student visa less attractive etc then since January it's been a lot easier. Actually more Canadians but lot of USA applications too.

My daughter works in a research lab. Two of her colleagues have already left for France.

Glad to be in Europe, working for a small high-tech startup company.
All that you need in Trump's government is a single source which contradicts the mainstream. That source could be a guy called Bob who runs a website with 400 subscribers. If Bob says that climate change isn't real and the Covid vaccine killed 40 billion people then that's good enough for Trump.

@ostfuidctyvm Yeah... a bit like how he ambushed the South-African president with articles/blogposts from the "American Thinker", instead of a security report from a country that runs one of the biggest intelligent services on the planet.

People dont understand where once we led economically because we were the country that made things, now we lead economically because we make money on our smart ideas. what are we going to lead on when we run off the scientist and researchers? You really think people driving pick trucks with MAGA flags are going to invent cancer cures?

I voted for the stable genius option in order to encourage them to drop more scientists to us 🫡

@Elessar I see him as a replica of Silvio.
Elessar · 31-35, M
@helenS Silvio if he went "what if we use only 1% of our brainpower"
WandererTony · 56-60, M
Surprised at the votes on 1 & 2 😵‍💫

TexChik · F
Yeah, that liberal science, like the science of withholding the fact that the jab would damage the heart while still mandating that we all take it?
Mudkip · 31-35, M
@TexChik Just feel sorry for the sheep that actually got all the vaccines and bOoStEr ShOtS 😂
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
This time in the opposite direction.
helenS · 36-40, F
@samueltyler2 It's almost unbelievable 😐
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@helenS it is so upsetting. How one man can cause such trouble. It is as if we have lost our minds.

You certainly have
Patriot96 · 56-60, C
Please give examples
helenS · 36-40, F
@Patriot96 75% of US scientists who answered a Nature poll consider leaving.
More than 1,600 readers answered the poll; many said they were looking for jobs in 🇪🇺 and 🇨🇦.
Nature is the scientific journal with the highest impact factor world-wide.
Patriot96 · 56-60, C
@helenS is that like the 97% who believe in human induced global warming.
Not very credible
helenS · 36-40, F
@Patriot96 No scientist "believes" in anthropogenic global warming, or at least, nobody should. You may believe in the Easter Bunny or Santa or God if you want, but not in the Pythagorean theorem or the Second Law of thermodynamics or Maxwell's equations. Science is not a belief system 🤨

It has already damaged the US reputation. It would take two generations of effort and focus and resources to repair the damage already done.

@RosaMarie Who knows, Canada may become an American colony.
RosaMarie · 46-50, F
@helenS I do realize that if the US looks to be imperialist, that will be the first domino. But I also believe that the EU would not sit it out and let it happen like the 1930s. That would start a world War.
KingofBones1 · 46-50, M
This is what happens when dictators take power
Patriot96 · 56-60, C
And who are these esteemed sientists? Al Gore et al
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@Patriot96 This idea must really rub you the wrong way... if you have to get agitated about it twice.

Back then, it was based on some weird arrogant tendency to go against a scientific consensus that has been holding up since the 1970s:

24th of may:

@helenS is that like the 97% who believe in human induced global warming.
Not very credible

And now it's misrepresenting Al Gore as a politician for being a scientist... just because Al Gore, as a politician, pointed at an issue that has been on the political agenda since the 1970s.

Back in the 70s, there was a sense of urgency, and a broad consensus that we should worry about human induced climate change... and then the oil manufacturers started polluting the discourse with pro-fossil fuel think tanks. You know, the kind that doesn't really excist to do research, but are there to promote fossil fuels. Verry comparible with the think tanks that the tabacco industry created to avoid having the conversation about lung cancer.

Australian Uni's have the highest number of US students every recorded for 2025
Is that a bull or water buffalo that the European Union person is sitting on?
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@sstronaut Europa, a Phoenician princess from whom Europe takes its name, was abducted by Zeus (king of the gods) in the form of a bull.

The maga no science view simply outs the USA.
