The US (and the world?) seems to be debating now whether we should have “No Kings” or “no science”. The former term is used in recent protests against Trumps styling himself as “king” in marked contrast to the resistance of George Washington to being monarch. “No Science” is my label for threatened or actual defunding by the Trump administration of NASA missions, particle physics and gravity wave detectors, and efficient cars. This fundamental science is important, but more damning is changes that will result in Americans being ‘sicker, poorer, and dying younger.’ Of course there’s more subtleties that could be discussed and hairs to be split, yet brevity is useful at present:

I am for funding science, and against kings in the US.
