So, the AHCA will leave 23 million more without insurance in order to save 2/3 of a NASA per year.
<Iskierka>
don't state it that way elsewhere else they'll say defund nasa for it
<Iskierka>
(nevermind that defunding stuff only ever goes into politician's pockets)
<UmbralRaptor>
eh, this is separate from the Trump budget.
<UmbralRaptor>
Heliophysics: constant
<UmbralRaptor>
Planetary Science: increased (mainly due to a Europa mission)
<UmbralRaptor>
Every other directorate and science related thing in the US government: cut
<UmbralRaptor>
with the heaviest cuts for environmental and health related fields.
<UmbralRaptor>
eg: medicaid, NIH, NSF, CDC…
<UmbralRaptor>
But it increases military spending.
<UmbralRaptor>
It's like the budget was written by a Khorne cultist.
<UmbralRaptor>
(okay, Europa might suggest Nurgle had some influence.)

Little Witch Academia's (first?) dragon is an investment banker who's making fun of the academy for investing purely in magic during the age of technology
<UmbralRaptor>
Looks like a short film?
<Iskierka>
was a movie & OVA but watching a TV series that's still running in second season
<Ellied>
the Europa mission is basically "hey, stop trying to get us to care about climate change and spend your money on something exciting, will ya?"

exciting as in investigating the opposite climate on a body that is completely inaccessible due to radiation anyway?

<MicroSFF> He looked just like me. "I'm from a parallel world. Go be seen in public for alibi while I kill the president." "Clinton? Why?" "You lucky-"

oooh only a 4% conservative lead now even with all the right wing media bs and an attack. This election might well save the country from disaster yet
<UmbralRaptor>
Reminder: Clinton got more votes than Trump.
<Iskierka>
thankfully we don't go by votes, we go by a majority of seats agreeing on one, so anything less than 50% tory seats allows things like labour-SNP cooperation to pick their own PM

Iskierka: though frankly at this point I wouldn't bet on a lack of disaster
<Iskierka>
I wouldn't play with bets but this is the closest it's been and closing consistently
<UmbralRaptor>
Tories got an outright majority of seats last time, yes?
<UmbralRaptor>
And a near majority plurality the time before that, and then continuous majorities back to the late 70s?
* egg
finds the word plurality confusing
<Iskierka>
dunno how it's tended to go, but frankly all we need to avoid complete disaster is a hung parliament that UKIP can't break by joining the tories
<egg>
(the french word for that literally translates to "relative majority")
<egg>
(the other being "absolute majority")
<Iskierka>
everyone else should frankly be willing to do whatever it takes to avoid tory majority given current situation
<egg>
certainly the composition of Parlyament may change the extent of the disaster
<egg>
since the tories have been increasingly nutty in their interpretation of exiting the union
