Does Harvard have a right to taxpayer money?

Into the Night said:
No contracts, Hugo. Science is not a research or study or funding.

Let's examine some of this research money is wasted on:

* Experiments to see the feasibility of housing live pigeons inside missiles to guide the flight paths of the missiles.
* Searching for evidence that some real plants imitate the shapes of neighboring artificial plastic plants.
* Studying whether the hair on the heads of most people in the northern hemisphere swirls in the same direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise?) as hair on the heads of most people in the southern hemisphere.
* A study of whether fake medicine that causes painful side-effects can be more effective than fake medicine that does not cause painful side-effects.
* A study of the swimming abilities of a dead trout.
* A study on whether mammals are capable of breathing through their anus.
* Studying a technique for using chromatography to separate drunk and sober worms.
* A study of exploding a paper bag next to a cat that’s standing on the back of a cow, to explore how and when cows spew their milk.
* A study for re-animating dead spiders to use as mechanical gripping tools.
* A study for using cadavers to explore whether there is an equal number of hairs in each of a person’s two nostrils.
* Experiments on a city street to see how many passersby stop to look upward when they see strangers looking upward.
* Studying whether and how constipation affects the mating prospects of scorpions.

ALL government funded research.
(Sources: Journal of 'Science', and papers written by the 'scientists' themselves.)

Further, schools like Harvard condone violent behavior, racism, bigotry, anti-American and anti-Israel violence, and pushing sexual perversions as "normal".

So Trump cut their government research funding. Good riddance.

At least 1 out of 12 'academics' will fake their data anyway. Some videos for the illiterate here on fake science, at Harvard and elsewhere.

The research, much of it medical research, is funded because it's important period. This issue is rising for the first time because and only because of the anti-intellectualism in Trump and therefore in MAGA. There the unstated motto is, "Proud to be Stupid".

:hand: :hand: :hand:

Attacking and trying to defund universities is a well-known and often-used fascist tactic to quell opposition to the government. MAGATs of course approve of this because, as you pointed out, they are envious and distrustful of higher education. They ARE proud to be stupid.

It is starting to look like trump is dropping in the polls. If something goes wrong in the economy, I think we will see him drop to record lows.

Or should I say when something goes wrong in the economy.

The economy is floundering now. His waffling on tariffs is a large cause of that, along with his failure to address inflation, bring prices down, create more jobs, etc. These are all promises he made that have yet to be fulfilled. Likely they never will be.

Apparently they think so. I 100% agree with Harvard in that the federal government cannot just outright tell them what to do.

But..............

It has been a longstanding practice that the gobblement has attached strings to any federal money it doles out. You see, Harvard doesn't have to take the money. The federal gobblement has done this to companies, states and colleges/universities for decades. Harvard never cared when the gobblement was forcing things it supported, but now they whine like little bitches.

Hey, if this research is so important to Harvard they should dip into their $54 billion endowment

The other question is whether or not the President can take away funding that has been given to them by Congress.

Prove Congress specifically appropriated funds specifically for Harvard. I will understand if you can’t

I don’t know specifics, t did not claim they specifically appropriated funds for Harvard. That is not the point.

Other than Trump and his administration of stooges, I don't think anyone trusts Trump on the economy.

Over the decades, and centuries, America has built trust. trump is trying to misuse that trust to have trust he cannot personally earn. It is somewhat successful, but it destroys trust in America.

Inflation expectations are the highest they have been since 1981, and rising quickly. Double digit inflation is being locked in.

Inflation increased by 20% during the vegetable’s term, Walter,

It is going to increase by more than that over trump's term. 20% is only 4.7% a year for four years. Double digit inflation means a rise of 50% or more.

Tesla shouldn't be getting any money from the government.
SpaceX shouldn't be getting any money from the government.
Oil drillers shouldn't be getting any money from the government.

The problem with your argument is a lot of companies get money from the government. Colleges and Universities getting money from the government would be acting like a business.

I don't want any business getting money from the govt. Can you show where I've advocated for such a thing?

You sure about that one?

You might want to google some of the medical advances that their research has been integral to over the years.

I don't give a fuck. Tell me why taxpayer money needs to go to a school with a $53 billion endowment. You're fucking nuts aren't you? If what they provide is so "important to humanity" let them pay for it.

What's interesting is how somebody as stupid as you tards haven't died in some dumbass Darwin Award winning act of mindless idiocy.

You might want to look up the Dunning-Kruger effect. People that spend a lot of time accusing others of being stupid or "tards" tend to be pretty obvious examples.
