This concerns me. I hadn’t realized that Trump has all but ignored the Office for Science and Technology Policy. Add that to the facts that just about the whole administration doesn’t believe in climate change and his Secretary of the treasury , Steven Mnuchin, is clueless about the affect of automation on jobs and it shows why we will very likely have dark days coming for tech in the US. The US has been at the forefront of tech and science for a very long time. With thinking like this we will loose that edge. It seems to me this administration is doing everything it can to try to kill our lead in tech and science while trying to bring back jobs in areas that are dying or won’t support them. I can only pray that when Trump realizes how vital it is for us to have a strong base in Science and Tech it won’t be too late to undo what he has done.
