    A very smart man once said, If t'were done, it is well it t'were done quickly.

    In politics, when you've got Big MO, you gitter done. The longer something rattles around in the box, the more opposition you'll tend to have.

    In the case of cuts, corporate or government, you cut fast and hard. Sometimes, you have to adjust the cuts later, but that's usually easier than the paralysis of analysis.

    Great. What have they actually cut?

      All told, more than 30,000 federal employees were fired in recent weeks after the Trump administration directed a mass purge of probationary staff.

          A big diabetes study canceled.

          Like ours, Columbia was the lead but it funds many centers, in this case over 2 dozen.

          Thank you for your attention to this matter.

            And yet we can still afford a new study regarding the link between fucking autism and vaccines.

                What is the point of this? Can anybody think of a rationale? Other than buying off RFK, obviously.

                  Keep up! They have been rehired since what Trump did was not legal. Now they're getting paid to play golf! (or whatever they do on paid leave)

                  25,000 employees... costing us $8 million per day. So much winning!

                    Update: with Columbia’s deal with the administration they’re slated to get the grant back. We did float all the sites for about 3 months so they could continue doing patient visits within the window prescribed by the study protocol. But we’ll not be on the hook for the next year+

                    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                      @Doctor-Phibes What an incredible funding opportunity! Nothing like funding initiatives to "prove" something true. Certainly no confirmation bias baked in there . . . not to mention a hypothesis already rejected ad nauseam. "This time we'll prove it right, if we just give enough money to the 'right' group'!"
