A comment on NSF director to resign amid grant terminations, job cuts, and controversy. Parent comment
Sometimes there is not a direct path to 'good'. Sometimes the path to things getting better goes through a rough patch.
It is very dissatisfying that a lot of people are doing very stupid things very publicly right now.

Politics is an information game, and you can't play an information game without changing the game; all information games are metagames.
The way the game is being played right now is drastically changing the game.
I won't claim that the game will be better after this (especially in the short term), but it certainly will be different.
