Look at where your money has gone:
-$500k to study if selfies make you happy
- $1M to study if quail are frisky if you give them coke
- $20k to drag shows in Ecuador
- $80k to ask taxi drivers in Ghana if climate change makes it harder for them to drive
- $500k for Fauci to create transgender monkeys
So for anyone wondering why we need the Department of Government Efficiency, there’s your answer.@ElonMusk and@VivekGRamaswamy will have have plenty to do.

From my 25 year university prof life I can report that they view grants as milking the government and they joke about it. That attitude brings these weird sounding studies which are faked. Gov grants have a daunting structure of proofs and reporting requirements. All of which can be easily faked. My department tried to require profs to get grants to pay for their own salaries, but it’s not easy to force profs. The groups with grants have meetings where they vote for each other’s proposals to be funded, so it’s all a set up. Recipients must go to DC to review proposals and vote to award funds, another set up. I often thought people who are independent ought to be on review panels.
