Because I don't want to starve.

Socialism has only been tried in third world hell holes like Russia and succeeded so far beyond expectations it ended up being called the second world.

A first world country going socialist would be the equivalent of increasing GDP by between 50 to 500%.

High energy physics is a dead end field where people impress each other with how intelligent they are by producing ever more unverifiable results.

Physicists have been the canary in the coal mine for societies.

From being expelled from Nazi Germany for Jewish physics.

To being dissidents in the USSR for their anti-nuclear stance.

To being killed in the cultural revolution for being bourgeoisie collaborators.

To being painted as communists in the US for their anti-nuclear views during the second red scare and their their pro-climate change views more recently.

Somehow I don't see this ending well for gender studies.

The details usually are that that someone left ssh wide open, someone else had a look at the logs and though 'Gee I don't think we should have anyone logging in from Belarus', and hiring competent people with enough resources would have prevented this.
