"Walk through some of this. The Iranians are saying that they're gonna have access to a $300 billion reconstruction fund, true or false?" O'Keefe began. "Well, Ed, that's the sort of thing they could have access to, funded by the Gulf coast coalition, so long as they honor their end of the obligation. I think that one of the things you're going to see, Ed—and people have to be skeptical of this—is that the hardliners…
Thank you for confirming it was fake news. He did not state that the US was going to give Iran $300 billion.
Not surprised I didn't get a response.

There's a lot of collateral damage that could have been avoided if millions weren't being squandered on dubious "science" like studying grooming habits of trans aboriginals in the Central African Republic (a made-up scenario, but there are many like it). At some point the baby's going to be thrown out with the bath water until the course is corrected.
Aren't you in any way concerned that you can't give a real example of the sort of thing you're talking about, and have to make one up? This should be the wake-up call that makes you re-evaluate your priors. The reality is that reactionaries often describe "useless" scientific endeavors like "condoms for worms" that end up being the only thing stopping parasitic screwworms from infesting the US cattle herd, which will…
Anyone that wants to see real examples can turn on showdead in preferences.

Seriously, when our tax dollars pay for idiots to play around with lizard spit[1] all day, why should we trust anything they want to fund? [1] https://biomedical-sciences.uq.edu.au/article/2024/04/rise-o...
Should've added an /s there
This link is much funnier if you don't give the punchline away. /s or /h or /ffs?
I am still trying to figure out how being against science, higher education, new energy, skilled South Korean workers, and for tariff-of-the-day lotteries, crypto grifts, Chinese-made "American-manufactured" phones, random wars and red hats is pro-manufacturing, pro-domestic investment and balancing the budget.
It's the "new math" of economics. I can't keep up.

#295Perhaps EU or China could build their own network of sensors to track this stuff? It's dangerous for so much science to be dependent on a country run by anti-science idiots. I sincerely hope that China wins the AI race, for the sake of myself and my children. The Chinese Communist party might be evil, but at least they accept fundamental natural sciences, and are actively investing in technologies that help avoiding…
>Perhaps EU or China could build their own network of sensors to track this stuff? already do, the EU is in particular collects a ton of oceanographic data through for example the Copernicus Marine Service, but these particular sensors are in waters close to Oregon, Washington and Alaska, not really anything the EU or China could replace. In its region the US is naturally not really replaceable, it's simply a big blo…
China will happily jump to help.
To help themselves to be able to track the movements of US nuclear submarines anywhere in waters close to Oregon, Washington or Alaska (Or to move their own submarines freely by the area without telling to anybody except them).
Dismantling sensors around Alaska helps Russia on an hypothetical future attempt to retake the area; and doing it around "51 state" or Greenland is the same thing for US.

What COVID research shutdowns are you talking about? That's too vague to understand, it could mean anything of any sort of political motivation! But with COVID specifically, there's an entire industry devoted to feeding fake conspiracies, so you'll have to be very specific in order for anybody to agree with you.
It's pretty clear that peyton is just trolling this discussion right now.
I’m not. This is a serious comment.
