Argentine scientists march against Macri's budget cutbacks; Minister of Science threatens to quit.

1. What a monstrosity. The right-wing loves to flail against science, doesn't it?

Education for the masses is abhorrent to them, anything to alleviate the suffering, the helplessness of the poor is going to be ripped away.

It's so strange having to watch as Macri goes about building his dictatorship. There's no question where he's headed. Mauricio Macri Videla.

If he has decimated so much of the science capabilities of the country already, where's he headed next year, and the years after that? He'll empty the buildings, and lock the doors. Then, when something scientific is needed, he can call upon privatized scientists who will give him the results he wants.

Best wishes to the protesters. Hope he doesn't have their names on his purge lists. They might consider moving to Chile, or farther away, still. Remember Operation Condor.
