But to be serious, anyone who's actually interested in the state of science in the US can compare budgets against research output and program requirements to see that in the last couple of years those expected performance metrics have been missed more and more due to orders coming down the pipeline from the Biden administration.
I know I was in a meeting just last week going over astoundingly poor numbers from the past couple of years.
Anyone who's interested in this should really be pulling up those numbers from federal agencies and even filing FOIA requests to see the internal arguments about it, because it has been a major thing that's been coming up that hasn't been getting as much attention as it deserves.
And again, I'm not saying it's anything intentional. As far as I can tell it's just micromanaging by people who don't know what they're doing, but it is seriously impacting scientific efforts throughout the country, and even the world.
