   @stonekettle Bear in mind other countries do drug development too. If RFK Jr. kneecaps the US pharmaceutical industry's government R&D subsidies I'm sure someone else will move in (and sell the results back to US healthcare orgs at a mark-up).

     @cstross @stonekettle That's the point. Almost every action taken in his first term was aimed at making the US federal government less stable and less powerful. It's what the not-so-secret masters have intended all along.

     Also some cruelty and grifting along the way. But weakening the USA--one of the last entities that can go toe-to-toe with adversary nations and corporations--is goal number one.
