It's so sad. Study after study have shown that the ROI on publicly funded research is anywhere from 20% to 100% depending on the industry.

These morons don't understand science enough to even realize how they benefit from it every day.

Damn near everything in our modern world is a consequence of research. Why do people never realize this? Your phone is not just some magic object from the heavens.

People in UFO communities actually do think some technology came from the heavens.
