There was a time when the word conservative meant stable markets would be the norm, but since radical extremists with delusional ideologies have infested the “Conservative” party, we will have market disruptions which will hurt the overall economy. Beware of the misnomers e.g. “Right to Work” which in-fact strips wage-earners of any bargaining power.
Among the up-is-down, night-is-day practices of the Trump administration, one of the most dangerous and disturbing is its habit of turning America’s leading science agencies into hives of anti-science policymaking.
A new report lays out how this has produced a “monumental disaster” for science at the Department of the Interior. The report by the Union of Concerned Scientists details how Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and his minions have in the space of two years turned Interior from a steward of public lands and natural resources into a front for the mining and oil and gas industries.
“The intent in rolling back the consideration of science in decision-making is always to progress the development of fossil fuel interests,” Jacob Carter of the union’s center for science and democracy and lead author of the report told me.I believe I was retaliated against for speaking out publicly.

I heard Zinke was fired but I can’t confirm it.

Well, if Trump wants to see a repeat of the 1929 Market crash, all he has to do is continue what he is doing.
