“By the way, the White House is proposing a 17% cut to NOAA’s budget.”
This and many other important programs, groups, and other efforts. It’s easy to dismiss all of these budget cuts and say that the research/work that all of these groups do isn’t as important as (Whatever thing a politician is trying to shill), but when looking at the big picture one can clearly see what is at stake. The pursuit of knowledge, science, art, health, etc is a main driver for progress… cutting these back slowly over time is easy to miss but dangerous.
