Somebody at Substack was trying to think of new ways to fund science now that the Feds are PROPERLY cutting off some funding. I don’t give a fuck if Demon Trump and Demon Elon are doing it; letting EVERYTHING depend on politics was always an atrocious idea. I’ve been hammering on it in this blog since 2008, and much longer elsewhere.
I commented that crowdfunding could work for a project with demonstrable value. I mentioned that the March of Dimes was all crowdfunded. He responded “Never heard of the March of Dimes. Will look it up!”
Now I feel ancient.
