Capitalists Only ‘Trust The Science’ When It Suits Their AgendaDuring the Trump presidency, slogans like “Facts Matter” and “#BelieveTheScience” abounded.

Because they “take science seriously,” it’s implied, Democrats will propose and enact more scientifically-informed policies. It’s been a year since Joe Biden took office on the promise that his respect for science would manifest in more rational policy solutions. So, now is a good time to ask:... read more
