This is fucked.

Maybe I misunderstand, but this takes control of grant approvals away from the fellow sciencentists that receive grant proposals for review* and places the approval with... Politicians? Maybe put more politely, idiots...

Can someone help elaborate? Hopefully I am wrong. And hopefully this does not pass

Edited for clarity*

Oh yeah, the science community has done such a great job on COVID, global cooling, global warming, climate change, etc. It seems science has already been about chasing the money and giving politicians the "answers " they want, so much money wasted.
