“In its 41-year-old history as the White House hub of innovation, the Office of Science and Technology Policy has never gone this long without a leader or official mandate,” CBS News reports.

“But nine months into his administration, there’s no clear indication that the president is close to naming a science adviser who will inform his policymaking, though that’s the mission that the OSTP has played since its founding in 1976 by President Gerald Ford. From climate change to space to education, the office has served as an in-house incubator for research, data, and crisis management that drove policy under seven presidents.”

1. We are doomed as a species. Too ignorant, power and money driven to survive.

I guess the rest of the universe will be happy to see us go.
A blight on the galaxy.

We did produce fabulous works of art however.
And have pockets of kindness and wisdom.

2. Hey, I know! Let's shrink government down to the size we can kill the whole thing off.

People vote for candidates who advocate this!

3. RepubliCons think they make their "own reality". Hello: Science trumps ideology.

There is no Planet B.

5. "a science adviser who will inform his policymaking"

Dolt45 thinks he knows everything, a walking, talking perfect example of the Dunning–Kruger effect. He is completely oblivious that he doesn't know anything about anything. He has paid toadies to fawn over him for so long that he has no clue that he is a complete fucking moron.
