My thoughts on cuts to science via NIH and IES It is: ILLEGAL: the funding has been congressionally mandated IDIOTIC: the multiplier effects of R&D are big in the moment (local econs) and huge in the long run (innovation) IMMORAL: knowledge is—hear me out—good; chaos and destruction are bad

Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly
