And how much has all this "efficiency" cost the taxpayer?

Anyone who voted for Trump is a fucking idiot

Why the fuck would you trust this government again?

This was a self-immolation of scientific research and climate adaptation/ mitigation imposed by this fascist regime. What was destroyed was years, decades of work. Its not recoverable.

How long until one of these shameless idiots gets in front of a camera takes credit for fixing the crisis they created? Sick of that bullshit cycle.

I'm pretty sure every person with a firm grasp of reality predicted this would happen.
