I read this article that is funny at the beginning because the author wrote the typical comparison of a synchrotron building to a donut. Also the first paragraph is good because some of the main reasons for the synchrotron existence are described (but there are others more). This tools are not made only to do the physicist busy and playing their toys, this building has something to produce in the society.
After years of people doing a bet on this infrastructure, many people can be forced to restart their specialization. Yes, because they have two options: work in another thing or move out the country. This type of job is really specialized. An accelerators physicist, or a protein crystallographic scientist can not be moved fast and easily to another type of job.
I understand, bad times would come, but the bad point is when science is becoming an exchange money. Badly is when everything can be explained by the bad times, good and bad maneuvers. Only insist in take care, read much and compare and contrast the information you have. Put it in doubt and create your opinion.
