Amid cuts to basic research, New Zealand scraps all support for social sciences
Amid cuts to basic research, New Zealand scraps all support for social sciences
You're viewing a single thread.
If you want to look at this as an optimist: scrapping all support for social sciences across an entire country is a great social science experiment. Now we get to learn how important social sciences are!
It's so incredibly short sighted, I do not know how to react.
Is that tragic optimism? New Zealand, are you ok over there? I guess we'll never know.
No. We're not.
Our current ultra (for us) right wing government is busy pillaging the country to line thier own and their cronies' pockets.
Hey at least the landlords got their tax cut tho right.
That's not actually one that pissess me off: specifically interest deductibility.
Demanding cost cuts from health, education, disabilities support, "cracking down on beneficiaries" and generally shitting all over the most vulnerable members of our society... Just to build a few more kilometres of motorways and "celebrate our most successful" with tax cuts.
Dang, sorry to hear it. Hang in there friend.
Bleakly optimistic at best, yeah? 😬
