your comment would have a lot more weight if the grandparent hadn't been flagged and removed by people who don't like to read things they disagree with!
How am I supposed to know what arguments to expect from MAGA if you people censor what they have to say?
Censorship isn't helping your cause! It just makes your side look weak and scared.
I agree HN hides comments/posts too quickly, but the main issue here is that you can easily google federal outlays by month. This is an extremely easy thing to do. Unless you don't believe the data collected, there's nothing to debate. Why don't we have a debate about what color the sky is, or what 1+1 is?
What are people supposed to argue with the sort of person that claims destroying 2B of federal science funding is justified solely by alleviating 0.001% of the 1.83T deficit - aka accomplishing nothing?
There's nothing to be aware of, nothing to prepare for, it's an "argument" that destroys itself with simple division. (Taking their grossly exaggerated "3T per semester" deficit number - combining the 2020 peak in annual deficit and casually doubling it - at face value only makes the 2B from the NSF an even more insignificant 0.00033%)
I find nothing revelatory about it. Just another person that wants to vandalize anything associated with their vague meme-complex of woke-lib-fed-science-international stuff.
