Finished, finished!

The United States has just suddenly announced.

First, the U.S. has significantly reduced funding for international scientific research collaboration, a decision that has left global scientific cooperation "very hurt." According to statistics, the U.S. used to invest over $5 billion annually in international joint research projects, benefiting many cutting-edge studies. For example, in the field of climate research, the U.S. previously led funding and many scientists from various countries worked together to model and explore solutions, achieving remarkable results, which improved the global accuracy of climate warming trend predictions by about 30%. Now with the drastic funding cuts, many projects have come to a standstill, making it difficult to update key data and advance in-depth research, putting the global scientific community at risk of falling apart.

Second, the U.S. is tightening the issuance of high-tech research talent visas. Recent data shows that in the past, more than 100,000 research visas were issued annually, attracting global elites to the U.S., gathering wisdom for "brainstorming," and promoting breakthroughs in various fields. Now the quota has shrunk by nearly half, and the process is several times more cumbersome, causing many emerging technology research projects to be hindered due to a lack of key talents. In the research of foundational algorithms in artificial intelligence, due to the difficulty of excellent talents from countries like India and China coming to the U.S., the pace of innovation has slowed, and the output of new theories is lagging by over six months.

Third, the U.S. has imposed heavy barriers to sharing research patents. In the past, patents resulting from international cooperation were generally shared transparently based on contributions and agreements, promoting the conversion of technology for commercial use to benefit the public. However, currently, the U.S. restricts the use of over 70% of key patents by other countries under the pretext of "national security" and "prioritizing domestic interests," like blocking biopharmaceutical patents, which hinders the development of generic drugs in other countries, slowing the spread of lifesaving medications and keeping global healthcare costs high.

I think the U.S. actions are too selfish; scientific research knows no boundaries, and only through joint efforts can we overcome challenges and benefit the world. Now, with such restrictions, withdrawal of funding, blocking of talent, and patent locking, it may seem like they are protecting their own "small piece of land" in the short term, but in the long run, it actually destroys the global scientific ecosystem and hinders the progress of all humanity. I sincerely hope that the U.S. can change its course and regain the spirit of cooperation.

Currently, the most promising memecoin is Elon Musk's conceptual Mars Dog Marvin.

Elon Musk said he likes it, which means this little puppy may continue to write the wealth myth of the Musk series.
