Getting a bit tired of posts like this (no offense), something dumb / nefarious happens like funding is cut for <useful thing>, then someone posts an off the cuff comment or question like, "wasn't this <useful thing> not that useful because <superficial reason>?". Why do people do this, to down play all the destruction of the last few months? Seems to be some type of coping mechanism.
