Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., the ranking member of the Science Committee, said in a statement, "This is the latest stupid move made by a president who continues to harm science and American innovation. The NSB is apolitical. It advises the president on the future of NSF. It unfortunately is no surprise a president who has attacked NSF from day one would seek to destroy the board that helps guide the Foundation. Will the president fill the NSB with MAGA loyalists who won't stand up to him as he hands over our leadership in science to our adversaries? A real bozo the clown move."

Ah and North Korea is in a better place because they have no capitalism. Clearly competition is the issue.

Or perhaps we need to put some boundaries like other countries do and of course not let powerful people amass more and more power. But power also corrupts soooo many people, is there a solution?

    May you please make one argument after another, or just one please.

    The only argument I can reconstruct out of your brainfart could be "Capitalism is good because North Korea has no capitalism". Just because (their own) people say its not communist doenst mean it is. Or do you really think they have no (ruling) classes, no money?

    Does NorthKorea not strive for "interests" (word is misleading us normal people btw, as its not yours/ours but the interest of ruling ones) of nationhood? So extending borders for example (as they are currently actively in war with South Korea under cease-fire)
