So much for finding common ground.

I tried.

I’m more certain than ever that I made the correct decision to vote now. Along with the majority on this one.

I'd expect him to reduce taxes on unearned income.

I doubt very many current members of Wrong Planet voted for him.

I voted for him this term because I couldn’t get a job last term and because science is important to me. I think much like AI sometimes, examining probability and analytics. The scientific community along with the tech explorers have opened my mind to worlds beyond my previous imaginations. It is my hope, as I look to the future of mankind, that science will help to unite us someday.

Something you should read and think about (from the National Library of Medicine):

We have reached a point that is beginning to become an anti-science era in the U.S.A., which will cost everyone dearly in the future. AI will unite humanity, but not the way you think it will.

Funding science through government grants is dead.
But, what about YouTube?
YouTube can provide significant cash flow to content providers.
Scientists may be able to fund their activities via social media, perhaps more efficiently than through the government grant process.

Wouldn't say it's dead, but government funding for science has been slowly decreasing as governments around the western world have been encouraging industry partnerships > blue sky government grants

When you do R&D for the likes of Musk you are largely helping big business to fill their pockets > helping the world

This is interesting to me. Thanks for responding. I don’t think many Americans think of Australia. That isn’t an insult. We just don’t have news inciting us to think about Australia.

this amuuurican thinks of down under quite often, along with the great white north [Canada] due to a sincere wish that I could be a citizen of those two much more enlightened nations.

I heard Canada once helped save bald eagles from going extinct in the USA be relocating our own bald eagles. Which is a real joke since the red state maggots couldn't care less about endangered animals now.
