KKKaroline: "We need more apprentices, electricians, and plumbers and less LBGTQ Harvard grads".

[Hoodoo Child]

Most Americans aren't capable or motivated for the trades either...

The real underlying issue. We (America) has a major culture problem

Not motivation, no integrity, no bite, no grit.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

If they were serious Trump would helping to craft policy to boost trade schools.

She gassing up these cacs while everyone in the administration will send their kids to the best college possible.

Exactly

He’s attacking Harvard because Harvard is disobeying his illegal DEI policies and trying not to kiss his orange ass.

And I am a graduate of College AND Trade school. Trade school led to military which led to college. I’m more of a fan of trade schools than I am of college especially if you grew up in a life like mines. And I’m definitely not the biggest stan for colleges (because I believe it should be free at a basic level) but nikkas are purposely missing the point with this.

Higher Education is just as important to this country's advancement just as much as skilled trade workers.



Trump just doesn’t want any brown people at Ivy League schools or schools in general trying to end DEI initiatives.

And even though DEI doesn’t do jack shyt for black people, this idiot thinks it does which is why he’s attacking it as hard as he has been. It’s good that it affects us the least but only for now.


This idiot fired every black general he saw and this wasn’t enough for an understanding of what “America” Trump is trying to “make great again”? All of this shyt stems from racism he’s trying to hide it in plain sight and these dudes acting like they are blind.

You said "Until capitalism dies."

The problem isn't capitalism and never was capitalism. Its human greed. Any system will go corrupt under greed. Socialism, Communism, it don't matter

Facts what does it matter to the farmer if it’s the bank or the party with their foot on their neck? Someone still has their foot on their neck.

I read that somewhere and immediately realized communism isn’t shyt just like capitalism. The realest thing is a social safety net and regulations to avoid monopolies/corruption.

Show me how strong those are and I will tell you how good your citizens are livings. It’s not a coincidence as rich people of both parties destroy those lives get harder for everyone else.

In America one party does it blatantly and the other incompetently but the results are the same.

People do know that the stripping of federal funding impacts Harvard’s research capabilities which has been very important. These are essentially government contracts being canceled.

The money wasn’t used to recruit students or fund LGBT shyt.

What Harvard's Federal Funding Cuts Mean for the University

The U.S. General Services Administration asked federal agencies to reconsider all federal contracts with Harvard.

time.com

Harvard’s defiance of the demands initially put $2.2 billion in multi-year federal grants at risk. Another $2.7 million in Department of Homeland Security grants and $1 billion in federal funding for health research are under threat as well.

Federal sponsorship for research made up 11% of the university’s total operating revenue for the 2024 fiscal year. Harvard warns on its website that without federal funding, cutting-edge research into conditions including cancer, heart disease, and diabetes “will come to a halt midstream, and researchers will lack necessary resources to finish ongoing projects or to finance new ones.” Some Harvard labs, including one working on human organs-on-chips, which replicate the function of organs, have received stop-work orders following the Trump Administration’s efforts to slash funding. Those researchers were using that technology to study how certain organs react to radiation therapy.

Harvard researchers devastated as Trump team cuts nearly 1,000 grants

As the US government slashes Harvard University’s funding, the damage to research at the school is becoming clearer. Nature has learnt that researchers there have lost nearly 1,000 grants, worth more than US$2.4 billion.

An e-mail to Harvard, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) lists 193 grants worth nearly $150 million combined as being terminated, and one from the US Department of Defense (DoD) logs 56 grants worth $105 million. Other cuts are smaller: for instance, the US Department of Agriculture and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development each terminated three grants. But by far the largest tranche comes from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), the world’s largest funder of biomedical science: it is cutting more than 600 grants worth about $2.2 billion over multiple years. The cuts do not include awards to Harvard-affiliated hospitals.

Through research grants, the US government funds about 11% of Harvard’s annual $6.4-billion budget, and these cancellations will be devastating, researchers say. “Harvard cannot, even with its vast resources, just make up for this loss of federal funding,” says Joseph Loparo, a biological chemist at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, who lost two NIH grants for studying repair processes in DNA, totalling $4.3 million.

Projects focus on issues from TB and chemotherapy to prolonged space travel, pandemic preparedness.

Research interrupted: A $60 million seven-year, multi-institutional consortium to study how the immune system controls tuberculosis.

“About a third of the world is thought to be infected with TB and carry TB, and most of those people will not get sick. But every year, 10 million people get sick, and 1 million people die, which makes TB the world’s leading infectious cause of death. We’re trying to understand the difference between protective and failed immunity to TB to better identify people with TB and then prevent TB, ideally with an effective vaccine.

Research interrupted: Two contracts worth under $20 million: one to test and develop drugs to treat long-term radiation exposure, including chemotherapy, and the other to study the effects of microgravity and radiation in space on human cells to help astronauts travel to Mars.

Research in peril: A $10 million project grant to fund a large consortium of laboratories to study the immune system and its ability to respond to different coronaviruses as preparation for future possible pandemics. That grant was halted before the most recent freezes and later temporarily reinstated by a court order pending appeal.

Research facing uncertainty: A $3.5 million neuroscience research project that studies how the neurons in the gut change with aging and conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.

The funding uncertainty isn’t just impacting doctoral candidates. Cherish Taylor, a postdoctoral researcher studying environmental risk factors for the onset, progression, and severity of psychiatric disorders, has been funded by the NIH Blueprint Diversity Specialized Predoctoral to Postdoctoral Advancement in Neuroscience Award (D-SPAN). The program supported graduate students and postdoctoral scholars from diverse backgrounds, including groups that have been under-represented in neuroscience.

“People of color, even to some extent women, but less so nowadays, and certainly people in the LGBTQ community, we are minorities within the STEM field. You may be the only person that looks like you in your program, in your department. Having this type of grant program is nice for remembering that you aren’t actually the only person who looks like you in the field.”

Taylor fears her funding will be terminated at the end of the current funding cycle because the program falls under the umbrella of diversity, equity, and inclusion programming, which has been a target of the current administration.

She is the spokeswoman of a very anti black administration. What are you even trying to argue

 

[CopiousX]

I'll never shyt on a trade good honest work.

But these mf still going to send their kids to these Ivy League schools.

So it good for them but you better be happy with that trade.

Oh you see the trick back too

Yes, and it will die. We might be gone with it. That was not a deep post. The point is we can't fold white and blue collar jobs and then preach the trades. They are throwing STEM in the trash, killing the most gainfully employed professions. You have to have buyers for blue collar services unless you expect plumbers and electricians to service each other ad infinitum.
