Destroying the science apparatus from within😥 , an article from the #NYTimes : Trump Administration Stalls Scientific Research Despite Court Ruling - Using an arcane law, officials have effectively delayed funding from the National Institutes of Health, leaving medical studies in jeopardy.

@F2erron honestly, if this funding delay, which has been relatively brief so far, leaves medical studies in jeopardy, those were not well managed operations.
I don't know if the Times reporters are aware, but this kind of thing happens through all administrations. Funding gets delayed, there are paperwork issues, there are budget issues, sometimes you're not sure how things are going to be worked out, but that's just how government has always operated.
Yeah it's frustrating, but it's not the crisis that a lot of these reporters are running around screaming about. Why weren't they screaming when there were much larger delays in the past? They weren't interested then.
This comes across as hysteria.
