Not personal, views on Trump are strictly biz

On one hand

He is bad for society, malicious lying to point of alternative reality -
economics are bad for business - Doge latoffs increased unemployment, lowered consumer spending - tariffs disrupt trade - wars kill.

Other hand

He's not unlikable.

The really bad part is that pharma/biotech was already at a decades low market (with tons of latoffs and no R&D jobs). So there is nowhere else for most academics to go.
(Take it from a PhD immunologist who was unemployed for 17 months and worked the floor of Lowe's).

Latoffs are occurring everywhere. Not good and portends the economy which looks good only because of the AI bubble is suffering large cracks in many other sectors. Hang on to your hat, Trump is fucking this economy up big time.
