Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was.
Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.
The federal government doesn’t ‘give’ money to Harvard. The $2.2 billion in frozen payments isn’t for Harvard sophomores’ tuition or library books.
The US government is buying services from Harvard: scientific & medical research & development.
These aren’t ‘woke donations.’
They are contracts. Proposed, reviewed, awarded, with metrics and deadlines and standards of performance.
Harvard is a government contractor in that sense — lab by lab, scientist by scientist — just the way any other company is a contractor.
That’s true of Columbia’s $400 million in ‘frozen’ contracts — and all the rest.
R1 research universities do crucial research the federal government can’t do itself, but that we as a nation have decided we need done.
Mission driven. Pioneering. Essential.
They can’t be done — as Sean Hannity just suggested — at community colleges & vocational schools.
That’s not what the $2.2 billion is being spent on.
…You could Google it. Of course.
Prevented? YOU DID THIS @realDonaldTrump.
On your 2ND DAY, you:
1. Fired the head of the Transportation Security Administration
2. Fired the entire Aviation Security Advisory Committee
3. Froze hiring of all Air Traffic Controllers
4. Fired 100 top FAA security officers
just spitballing here but what if instead of a beer glass that makes you drink slower, there were a longbeck beer bottle with ridges in the neck (almost like a vortex) that shot beer down your throat at record speeds
