    If nothing else, their incompetence will give us all the proof we need about why these agencies need to be run by experts and why they need to exist and be funded. I never thought I’d see the day we had to learn the hard way why greed and selfishness can’t be left to run amok. Sounds exactly the way right teaches their kids, the hard way.

      these agencies need to be run by experts

      What experts? The NIH was defunded. 10,000 post docs have left the country. People are retiring or exiting science. No other countries are taking up the slack.

      We already knew all of that. The problem is that under capitalism, the rich make the rules. Until we supplant the capitalist class with a working class government, we will continue to see policies that put money ahead of people.
