    Here in Argentina, science funding is not working because the investments made in any research are too stupid: (some examples from CONICET)

    “Los Cumpleaños en los Mc Donalds.”
    “El fútbol como espectáculo de masas.”
    “Jóvenes travestis en la escuela secundaria.”
    “Vidas Queer, nazismo y dictadura: sexualidad en textos alemanes y argentinos.”

      I’m sure that, being a good scientist, you made sure this is sample is representative of the entirety of Argentina’s science research, right? You wouldn’t cherry-pick your data, would you?

        It is not. This is just repeating the same braindead take from tweets that want to ridicule the institution.

        On the other hand, I know several engineers and physicists that work there and have to make do with very scarce resources. Not just that, many of them end up working abroad because our education system is actually pretty good.

      Translated:

      “Birthdays at McDonald’s.”
      “Soccer as a mass spectacle.”
      “Young transvestites in high school.”
      “Queer Lives, Nazism, and Dictatorship: Sexuality in German and Argentine Texts.”

        Imagine having your “Birthdays at McDonalds” paper put through the ringer by social media because some knob tried to use it as an example of how science funding is misspent…

      I know just enough Spanish to be throughly confused about how any of that is related to “science funding.”

        They’re social sciences, anp OP is arguing in bad fate. I don’t know of the titles he wrote arw real titles for paid research, or just cherry picked to justify the end of research. I knew a girl that was a researcher of the CONICET and studied potatoes and their diseases, pretty useful shit that any intelligent government invest in. They going to vote from their own Bolsonaro and fuck every miniority over there.

          It’s interesting how you are saying that minorities need “positive rights” (monopolical privileges from the State) to participate in society, violating the individual rights of the others.
