Hardly surprising when American science is bullied into silence by fundamentalists pushing YEC, abstinence, raw milk, vaccine denial, moon landing conspiracy... not to mention capitalists taking subsidies for faster broadband multiple billions of dollars, multiple times, over decades, and pocketing it... gutting science programs & support at the hands of political agenda has consequences.

Because that's a lot of money that isn't going to his favorite charities.

Not paying taxes would work, but only if everyone did it. So is this how we starve the beast? Then again, I feel like I'm already on a few lists, why not paint a target on my back too?

Cash in, most likely.

The DNC doesn't care if they lose. They are not beholden to any social movement because they get their money from throwing up scare tactics every four years, and the corporations donate to/play both sides because it's capitalists all the way down.

This is the internet, and I welcome such pedantry.

Please don't lump Gen-Xers in with boomers. Why do you think Gen-X got its name? Disillusionment, detachment, loss of identity and purpose. Gen-X didn't know what was wrong, but they knew enough to know they were left out. Even boomers aren't to blame -- they just have more people in the ownership class right now. If we divide along age and generational lines, the capitalists benefit.
