The US will lose its supremacy as a scientific and technology powerhouse. All of the new constraints on US-gov't funded research where you can't use certain words, the elimination of climate research, gender research, vaccine and disease research, the list goes on. Other countries will pick up the mantle - and will hire US scientists - and will soon dominate that landscape.

If this runaway train of destruction can't be stopped and reversed, we'll be a third rate country in 4 years.
