Time to dust this one off. More true than ever.

We need new parties that are representative of the People. The oligoarchs have infiltrated and control both. Time to hit reset!!

Spot on! Thanks for the Episode!

Can I just say I loathe DJT? And that goes for all you Trump voters and non voters out there. FUCK YOU. Have fun wallowing in the shit with the other pigs. 🐽

Comparison of Research Spending on New Drug Approvals by the NIH vs the Pharmaceutical Industry This cross-sectional study examines National Institutes of Health and pharmaceutical industry investments in recent drug approvals.

99% of new medicines developed by the pharmaceutical industry depend on NIH research jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

True today as it was back then... Not much has changed, and that's the problem! @rachelbitecofer.bsky.social

Scientists warn of long-term damage as Trump’s orders slow research — The Washington Post By blocking announcements in the Federal Register, the administration is keeping experts from meeting to evaluate funding proposals.

WashU, SLU up alarm on NIH changes as data shows slowing of distributions Washington University Chancellor Andrew Martin said the funding changes could be "potentially catastrophic" for the university.

As the next Congress sets its agenda, it’s baffling how the push for tax cuts still deceives the public. These cuts won’t help the middle class but enrich the wealthy. To pay for them essential services will be reduced. Don’t let Congress sell this as relief—it’s a gift to the rich at your expense.

Leader of the pro-Trump Project 2025 suggests there will be a new American Revolution Kevin Roberts said the revolution will be bloodless “if the left allows it to be.”

Yes, they have been telegraphing the plan this entire time. Unfortunately, the billionaire-class media machine ignored Project2025 and how all Americans hated it. As Gov. Walz said, "If somebody draws up a playbook, they plan on using it". Well, they are using it. Buckle up and fight back!

The NIH. That's just the economic benefit.
Biomedical research promotes human health.

NIH slashes overhead payments for research, sparking outrage Move to cut indirect cost rate to 15% could cost universities billions of dollars

The National Institutes of Health plans to severely cut the percentage of its grant money that can be used for overhead costs rather than research.

Exactly! Elon prioritizes Elon, not the U.S. A small investment in goodwill secures global alignment with U.S. goals and policies. The disbandment of USAID will set the U.S. back for decades, giving China an edge. Ironically, MAGA supporters and Congress may inadvertently make America last.

Consider the possibility of data scraping of structured data, which will go far in training his xAI machine learning models (for free!). Imagine our data being used without our knowledge/consent, especially if he gets a hold of patient-level data. PHI/HIPPA violations. Class action lawsuit anyone?

The billionaires have miscalculated. Despite their immense wealth, they remain empty and pathetic. Instead of improving the U.S., they steer us toward dystopia. The People, however, are waking up to their crimes. In time, we'll elect a true populist leader—not a billionaire conman posing as one.

Stop channeling Obama. He played nice with Republicans and at the end of the day they still screwed him. Your tepid responses thus far have been woefully inadequate and certainly not up to the task of combating a coup. Get some fire in your belly or move over and let AOC and Jasmine take over.

Short-sighted, self-proclaimed King Elon is reliving his Nazi-youth days in South Africa. Helping people with different melanin content is anathema to his white-greatness. But let's not forget USAID supports American workers as U.S. products are being exported. www.usglc.org/media/2017/0...

Let me get this straight. We are supposed to follow the fantasies of a delusional billionaire to set up a friend camp on mars instead of taking care of the people here on earth? Remember his idol, Tesla, wanted to marry a pigeon and convinced Martians were communicating with him.

Exactly! Short-sightedness. The USAID is a small investment to support U.S. commercial interests through economic growth in developing countries. Curtailing the USAID will certainly have ramifications for years and others will fill the void.

USAID security chiefs put on leave after trying to stop Musk's team from accessing classified info, officials say Members of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency eventually did gain access Saturday to the aid agency’s classified information, which includes intelligence reports, a former U.S. official…

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at USAID on leave after they refused to turn over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s government-inspection teams, a current and a former U.S. official told The Associated Press on Sunday.

This image is a screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) stating that the "@DOGE team is rapidly shutting down these illegal payments." The tweet is a quote tweet of another tweet from General Mike Flynn (@GenFlynn), which alleges that Lutheran Family Services and affiliated organizations receive large amounts of taxpayer money and claims that religion is being used as a money laundering operation. Below Flynn's tweet, there is an image of a spreadsheet containing financial data related to these transactions. The Twitter interface shows engagement metrics, including 4K comments, 12K retweets, 55K likes, and 5.3 million views. A "Rate proposed Community Notes" button is also visible.

What Elon is doing is straight up illegal. He has no authority to go through line by line and shut off funding to organizations he dislikes. He's intentionally trying to destroy civil society.

Yes, Nikolai Yezhov faced a similar fate and was erased by history. Scary times indeed.

A dive into social economics: Robert Axelrod’s 1984 The Evolution of Cooperation, presents tit-for-tat as a key strategy to balance self-interest and cooperation in a capitalist world. His ideas offer timely insights for today’s trade war dynamics—though the grifter-in-chief likely won’t care.
