That's the way all government services work.

Public libraries don't run as profit centers, and yet everyone generally agrees they provide a social benefit and are worth funding.

If everyone generally agreed that injecting messenger RNA into the eyeballs of infants provided a social benefit you would go along with it.

So you're saying that if the Nazis didn't have subsidized train rides for tourists they would not have been able to collapse the Soviet Union in 1991 and regain East Germany? Interesting. Very interesting, sir.
