I was in the US last week for a conference.
 The mood has really shifted to the worse. Lot's of talk on the radio on people going bankrupt, how to survive the coming years, DOGE violating constitutional rights.
 Before going, I had to check my text messages and online social profiles, to be sure I had not made a comment about Trump. (many examples of people send to prison for just not linking Trump)

A friend of mine wanted to attend the launch of a payload in FLA
that we had worked on for years. He canceled that a few days ago
because of that newfangled DOGE shit. You cannot let Trump's
ankle biters check / copy your company laptop.
I remember I didn't even get the soldering procedure for contemporary
Virtex FPGAs, let alone the chips, for stuff to end up on the ISS,
so I had to use prehistoric ones.
Needless to say, there won't be Xilinx in future projects here and it
won't be FLA but Kourou for takeoff.
It does not pay in the long run to piss off people.
