Most rural state departments default to federal science info as well!

The Goal Of The Trump Administration Is To Deny Science At Any Cost

FEW ARE CONCERNED? Fuck that noise!

Err, uh... maybe yesterday was just a really bad day. Do try to stay alive when it's cold. Probably be fine.

Because most Americans are dumb…objectively proven by the fact that we elected Donald Trump, not once but twice, to be our president. 🤦‍♀️

They think they can get all the science they need from podcasts, YouTube, and tictok.

I mean what could go wrong

Well you know what they say about facts , that they are just the gateway drug to science .

"Americans not being aware" is how Trump got elected.

IOW, another poll shows Americans are dumb.

New poll finds that Americans aren't very bright.

Why do America and Americans hate education & knowledge so much? Not just Trump/magas, but the society in general?

You don't appreciate it before you lose it.

A lot of intelligence cells are missing

If Idiocracy was a documentary, this would be the part where they proudly announce cutting science budgets while launching a new dating show for influencers.

Because they don't know how to read beyond a 6th grade level? The red stares have destroyed public education, and now we're all worse off because of it where people don't think the federal government does anything they ever use 🤬

Fresh take: "Many Americans are stupid and don't think past next week on what is going on."

Because they don't know its federal when they are using it! Democrats need to do a much better job of making Americans see everything government does for them and what is no longer being done because Trump/DOGE destroyed it.

People have taken so much for granted. They go out and expect that nothing will change even when the change has been laid out for them clear as day. They only care about themselves and they can’t be bothered with facts and figures, you know, the minutiae.

Cause they are dumbasses with their heads in the sand pretending none of this is happening

So where do they think they are going to get this information after all these cuts???

Boiling the frog. And the water's getting damned hot.

You know, media companies need to stop taking polls of stupid people.

Many Americans are low information citizens and voters. That's why we're in this mess.

Repost. Trump Parade 6/14 Protestors: If you go Turn your back. Turn your back. Turn back. Turn your back. Turn your back. Turn back. Turn your back. Turn your back. Wear Black. Stand With Your Back Turned Against the FELON's Parade. Local Red State Magat Parades, too. NonViolent Protest!

I have written my congressmen about it!!! Several times. What else can we do?

Obviously the MAGA’T doesn’t want us to use science. Because science undermines RFK and christian fundamentalists.

So what are you saying? That Americans are ignorant? Haven't we all known that since last November's election?

👏👏👏

If I'm looking for an answer on something and Google leads me to a .gov site, I find a different source. Can't trust the government pages any more

Because we can always "do our own research."

Lack of information and lack of knowledge of the source of the information...both bad

Pull you head out of your ass, it all matters. We have the world’s best scientists that are being courted by other governments, we could suffer from an unprecedented brain drain.

Take a lesson from Fox News. Find some clips of the most extreme examples of the harm that can come from these cuts and show relentlessly. www.facebook.com/reel/4883934...

Slashing government services appears as “Efficiency, Great!” until you realize you need that service.

I am concerned.

I don't recognize this country. We are spending money on going to the Moon and Mars but not on more practical science. No logic, just fearing and loathing!

Please get on the phone or e-mail and tell you reps in DC to support funding for NPR/PBS. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate. www.nationalfinancialplan.co

It sounds like most Americans need to wake up and smell the watered down, more expensive coffee…

Without science, how would god know what to worry about?

Hey, I’m Kath. I’m new here and trying to connect with cool people. Do you mind following me?🥺❤️

Yep, we’re morons

Who did you poll? I am concerned!

That is hard to believe. We need the knowledge provided by the science community.

The new Federal “Science” is along the lines of the new HHS: Designed to kill.

Why the hell would you think that?! That means information, it's not going to be as reliable as it used to be because they're having to cut down on the resources to get the information!

Guess they're going to learn soon enough.

Just yesterday I went back to find government reports I had used earlier on for my master's thesis as sources. They are gone.

Oh god

Most people don't even know how they will be affected. I work in science/ natural resource management and the consequences of these cuts are likely to be severe and very difficult to recover from.

Gee it’s almost like the government does way more than people realize yet they’ve been brainwashed by rich people since the Reagan years

📌

It hasn't hit them properly yet. Denial phase.

Most people don’t understand where information comes from. Think about NPR and PBS they transmit news far and wide.

Federal science information has been helpful for me for numerous reasons, but now with the trump administration I am really skeptical.

Yes, and.... DEMOCRATS NEED TO TELL THEM. Everyday. Hey, this thing you like, you use all the time, Trump is taking it away.

Republicans sneer and call govt services “free stuff” with zero respect for the people who dedicate their lives to science and public service. Perhaps they’d be more appreciative if we established some sort of public service work requirement. Want a weather report? Show me your 20 hrs of pub svc.

This is a truly serious marketing and social failure on the part of both government and scientists. And if we do get a chance to rebuild at some point in the future, we all need to make sure everyone understands a lot more about science and scientific study. Carl Sagan says, "I told you so"

Americans are not helping the world's belief that they are not bright people

Most Americans ergo are ignorant fools with no clue.

I block fools.

If you haven't realized that most Americans are not very smart, you're in for a surprise.

Don't worry. The MAGA Academy of Duh is going to supply all our future science needs.

I feel like this is an incredibly low estimate. The weather app on your phone is directly sourced from data that is ONLY available from federal sources. People use it multiple times a day. Google Maps uses a lot of federal data to function. That's a daily for some. I'm sure there's more I'm missing.

Many have been propagandized to think tech bros invented all this shit, when they've just built shiny front ends to data and tech that was built by the REAL scientists and engineers working for the US Federal Government.

Exactly

The east coast will for sure wake up with the first hurricane this summer. The rest y country will wake up when they suddenly smell smoke from a wildfire or realize the farm crops around them have dried up and died. No FEMA or farm aid to help any of them. No refund on fed tax either

There are countless other data sources I probably rely on that I don’t even realize.

We the people must be dumber than we look

They're so used to having these things. They dont seem to realise yet, things will change.

Private Information is a $Gold mine

American taxpayer dollars pay for weather and climate research. Companies profit off the results. American taxpayer dollars pay for pharmaceutical research. Companies profit off the results. We have socialized science and privatized the benefits.

The idea is to privatize and charge a subscription.

Worked in public school classroom for 10 years before retirement…can’t agree with you more. For too many “students”school is a giant day care teaching kids to be ill-informed consumers.

Then are angry & shocked when a service is no longer available 🙄

Most Americans are very dumb, new study finds.

And they’re proud of it

Silicon Valley will have a nervous breakdown when they figure out that the 🤡 they had elected as POTUS, is robbing them of the valuable data that is critical to training AI-models.

ah shoot. Maybe you shouldn’t have spent the last decade sucking Trump’s dick you fucking morons

It’s fitting that the US is now going through the same brain drain as the one we inflicted on East Germany to hurt its economy and take advantage of the education we wouldn’t have to spend money on. We could let them educate the scientists, engineers, etc. and then we could reap the benefits.

They’re foolish then

We that use federal scientific information from the feds understand fully where the information is gleaned from in the first place. The polls rarely ask average Americans who understand completely where & how to look for research oft to make pivotal life decisions. Yes, many DO care.

Federal Science, available to all Americans! Almost Socialistic if not Communistic. No wonder the regime aims to cripple such public services

We are going to be in the dark about a lot of things. This is by design. The idea that the private sector will take up the slack is laughable. They are not interested in giving out free information.

The country is just one giant clown show.

I’m genuinely struggling to think of what your USB acronym stands for. My IT orientated brain keeps getting stuck on Universal Serial Bus, and I know that can’t be it.

Speaking for literally all countries: Slava Ukraini, & if USB is better for world and USA Citizens then fuck it I'm all in The current system needs to be replaced

Then screw them, & let's focus on everyone else that does care about that

All true. And losing it is going to cost us much more than having it ever did.

And if it requires a scientist to process the data, that person was likely trained using federal funds. Everything in modern society (tech, meds, data) has been influenced by federal funding in some capacity.

NOT ANYMORE

I am concerned!

5th grade educations. I love on the Weather .com website how they constantly have ads for giant gas guzzling vehicles.

I think they should've polled different people.

It’s by design. There’s been huge efforts and expenses made to dumb down Americans going back decades.

I'm starting to think these "polls" always sample the same echo chamber of people who thought a twice impeached, 34x convicted criminal, rapist was a decent choice for POTUS

Just proves that most Americans need more education. It will affect them in one way or another it just has not happened yet.

Glib stupid magats take everything for granted. Bellow - 'burn it all down' - mostly because they're bored. Then cry and wail when reality finally hits them in the nose. Worst social class in human history.

Daily. Daily basis.

We use scientific research in agriculture more than you’d expect to help production & product safety.

#1 in dead kids from gun violence is about it while we make it easier for kids to die by gun violence. What a country.

Oh we are number one in Stupid by a wide margin

And cotton! And slaves! Wait. I think we've been here before.

Many of us have truly become pathetic. 1/3 voted for the criminal, and another third didn't bother to vote. So it was only 1/3 of us who actually stepped up and tried to stop this utter disaster.

The subtext of maga is actually to make America dumb again.

We're living in an increasingly selfish time. JFK would lose a modern election if he said "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country".

it is by design, a less educated populous is easier to control and are less likely to know how badly they are being screwed over. never forget that for you and i it is the ayn rynd wet dream BUT for the wealthy it is full blown communism so they get ALL the money.

libertarianism: all the comforts of governance, none of the responsibilities.
