You are welcome to find a better article and post it yourself.
You are welcome to post content related to scientific research rather than politics in the science community
This is related to science. The NASA head directs pretty much everything that happens at NASA. Whether you like it or not, the current political situation is affecting the scientific community. Stick your head in the sand if you want, but I cant. I work there.
This has nothing to do with sticking my head in the sand and everything to do with the post being misclassified.
It's important news. But it's incongruent with the expectation people have when they subscribe to a community to learn about science. Did I learn anything about science from the Politico article? No, I learned something about politics.
Everything is affected by politics. Politics is the primary topic of the article. Politico agrees, because it is a publication dedicated to politics.
Its not multiple people have said as much. If you dont like it, hide the post.
Multiple people like making every community political and unfocused. It doesn't change the reality that many communities are unfocused.
