    Cool, but realistically, if the federal government even pays out the grants, which is questionable under Trump, given his history, and would require another costly round of litigation to get them to be paid out, how many of those programs exist or exist in such a way that the purpose of the awarded grant can even be fulfilled now?
    I could see the government issuing checks, then revoking the grants because the awarded grant was for something timed to 2025 that didn’t happen, relied upon a specific person’s abilities and connections who now has another job, relied upon infrastructure that was sold or repurposed, or used community arrangements that are not in effect anymore.

    It takes years and hard work to build something. I hope these programs are resilient, because I fear the ones that don’t have resiliency - likely the ones most desperately needed - are forever damaged or gone.
