Incredibly short-sighted decision-making. Dare I say, they should have consulted some *social scientists* on the ramifications of such a decision, and the economic risks (which they value so much) of reduced capabilities in the humanities.

wtf wtf goddamn even economics is a social science, where do you think 'the economy' comes from

This government is not interested in real impact; they are interested in short-term economic gains at the expense of long-term societal benefit. Cutting funding for humanities and social sciences risks stifling the interdisciplinary innovation and critical thinking needed to drive true impact.
