This is an important reminder. For a much deeper and disturbing look at how this is playing out and the impact it is having at JPL, The Atlantic published a nice piece. Someone I work with used to work at JPL and, for their former coworkers who have managed to stay at JPL, it's a bleak time. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/02/trump-nasa-budget-american-space-program/685332/?gift=Ms0NhaXwvF3qopnrhIh-qi5EgfaKAlLUHO1ffoFvEmw&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share

Just the sheer amount of inventory waste of new cars sitting on lots should tell you there's something rotten going on. That's a lot of real estate too. In one town near where I live, all the old dealerships on an auto row have been converted to high-density housing or mixed use developments (that happen to be adjacent to good transit). I'm sure there's at least a few other dealerships ripe for development.

I'm rooting for Hawai'i; Citizen's United removed shame for the greatest beneficiaries of the our uneven income distribution.
