Pretty much all BSC activities are EU funded.

Where is the harshness? Asking “What’s the plan when the gravy train stops?” Is a perfectly valid question.

> Science is a good investment

Some science has been a good investment. Most (especially public funded, particularly in Spain) has been a very poor investment. As an obvious example, the new accelerator CERN is pushing for will have an atrocious ROI, just like most money spent on space exploration.

We should not be taxing blue collar workers so that middle class “scientists” can call dibs on historic milestones.
