The United States is drifting ever further away from science and climate reality. So why does life seem so normal?

    Yes the Soviets, first people to launch a satellite, invent the satellite phone, and land a probe on Venus, hated science

      In USA, if you have to say something is bad, you have to link it with Russia (in this case Soviet) or China. It activates their coping defense mechanism.

      They themselves are never ever at fault.

    Didn’t the Soviet’s invest heavily in science? Not to say they didn’t have other problems, but I don’t think scientific investment was one
