“Last year, Spain spent 1.28% per NATO estimates on military expenditure, making it the alliance’s lowest spender. In April, Sšnchez announced that the government would raise defense spending to 2% this year, a move that he received pushback for at home including from some allies.”

@atthenius@fediscience.orgMy removal from #nasa #nyc continued afoot.
I haven’t said much of it here — but my competitive grant proposals (nasa scientists get funded this way since full cost accounting hit in 2004) have been chosen, but not funded.
There is no grant money to distribute. Folks in the know have seen that - ROSES, the acronym for research opportunities in science, does not have a 2025 call and the 2024 chosen post January 2025 don’t have money getting distributed.
If I cannot get proposals funded I will be in the same situation as every other soft money researcher.
So the soft RIF is coming for me and 1000’s of others.

but that is the midpoint on incomes, meaning half of U.S. households made even less.
