This is wrong It can absolutely happen, and does fairly often. I know plenty of people in research and academia who have been affected by cutbacks. Maybe we should be spreading those cost saving efforts around more than we are currently.


Maybe I should be more specific: It's hard to cut "real" jobs. Academics and research are "out of touch" with "regular folks".

At least that's how populist politicians put it.

sigh I really look forward to a science/research-based economy.
