Good.
Actually this is pretty horrible once you take a look at where these positions were cut - most of these losses are due to people getting fired in positions related to public health, environmental protection and climate research, not to people with Ph. D.s moving to China or whatever explanation posters here have made up instead of reading the actual source.
Okay, I'm being glib. Obviously it is a disaster that essential research is being deliberately sabotaged, but there are two potential outcomes I can imagine here. Either the façade continues with academia discarding all but the pretense of rigorous investigation to serve as an obsequius pillar of the state, or it disintegrates under the contradictions and we can all stop pretending this society cares whatsoever about the fundamental reality of the world we live in.
