Sorry, NYT @craigfehrman: Lewis & Clark were explorers, not scientists. Trump's cuts in taxpayer money going to over-educated, under-productive people who fancy themselves as "scientists" does not "betray America's past". It is aimed at making sure that even more taxpayer money is not wasted on junk science.

You reap what you sow.
You wanted more government regulations.
According to the most recent data from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB, as of mid-2026), government regulations at federal, state, and local levels add roughly $131,734–$132,000 to the price of a typical new single-family home.
@famexbt Generational labels are media gimmicks to generate BS conflict and media stories. Don’t fall for it. Plenty of boomers took drugs and ended up on the streets. Do better is easy
In 1995, 77.1% of global primary energy was provided by fossil fuels.
As of 2024 (the latest data I could find), 76.4% still comes from fossil fuels.
That's a whopping *sarc* 0.7 percentage point drop in 30 years.
Governments have spent TRILLIONS of taxpayer dollars on “green” energy projects, and while growth in renewables has been enormous (particularly solar), it has barely made a dent in the global energy mix (note, these figures are based on the substitution method for fair cross-comparison, so it slightly lowers fossil fuels) because coal, oil, and natural gas consumption continue to increase year after year.
If eco nuts like you actually wanted to “decarbonize” the economy, then a deregulation of and transition to nuclear fission would achieve that far faster.
They're paying for inflation, higher taxes, zoning restrictions, permitting delays, compliance costs, insurance, and a housing supply government has spent decades restricting.
The apartment didn't magically become more valuable overnight.
The government just made providing it more expensive.
