And looking at today’s news…fewer government grants = fewer startups and less innovation. It’s as if they want to hamper everything that makes us a dynamic, broadly prosperous country.
And looking at today’s news…fewer government grants = fewer startups and less innovation. It’s as if they want to hamper everything that makes us a dynamic, broadly prosperous country.
I feel this in my bones. Reading about it this morning, it hit like a gut punch wrapped in slow-burn dread. A country that turns its back on research isn’t just forfeiting leadership—it’s carving out its own irrelevance with surgical precision. This isn’t just the lights dimming; it’s pulling the plug on the very engine that propels humanity forward. Research isn’t a luxury; it’s the oxygen for innovation, the spark that ignites industries, medicines, and technologies that shape not just the present but the next hundred years.
To stop funding it? That’s choosing stagnation over progress, complacency over curiosity. It’s a betrayal of everything that ever made this country dynamic—a slow suicide disguised as fiscal responsibility. The worst part? This isn’t just a loss we feel now. These are the echoes of tomorrow’s breakthroughs silenced before they even had a chance to be whispered. What a gruesome, self-inflicted wound to witness.
