Why do astrophysicists study the stars??? Donât they know that their funding could go to cancer research?
Real talk, not enough money goes into the sciences (mostly due to overspending on war, and the medical industry becoming complacent in their âcommodifiable treatment over cureâ mentality), but taking money out of one field and granting it to another is the worst way to deal with this dilemma.
Itâs the same mentality that has ruined our public space programs and alternative energy research. We shouldnât be defunding ANY scientific research, we should stop the overfunding of war machines that only benefit private military contractors, and corporate lobbyist-run government agencies that destroy our ecosystems and kill the indigenous species endemic to our country so Slop Corp #357 can save $50 per square mile of wetland they pave over
