HN literally posted a video on how broken the public funding system is (in Physics) days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41808127

This broken system doesn't just stop at Physics. If you watch the video, she does a great job at explaining what exactly is broken.

I'd love you to watch that video and then come back and explain to me why she is wrong and why the system is actually working well and as-intended.

I've seen the video - to be fair, theoretical physics is probably the cheapest thing to fund - they just need a supply of chalk. ultimately a lot of physics is a jobs program to keep physicists from going abroad and working on a foreign nuclear program.

seriously though, you should run for election on this platform!
