      Upkeep might be expensive, but 22 billion is probably lower bound estimation, highly likely to 5x that at least

            Understood, the world needs to kill more brown people, so we can afford rare particles . ***not my opinion

          That would be too hard, but we can just try and save some money on useless things and if people don’t accept cutting benefits just raise the interest rates, all of them are underwater anyway

          Man, that’s just not in the budget. How am I supposed to scratch my need-to-kill-brown-kids itch without the taxpayer money we specifically set aside for this purpose?

          What kind of absurd ideas are you gonna come up with next? No more instigating strife in the middle east? Pah! Not on my watch!

        Pff the UK is spending that on a 70 mile railway thats going to be slower than the one already there, already spent nearly 2x the projected FCC budget on just 6 miles of the fucking thing.

      Fucking hell, we can’t get a tramway for 10b CAD around here and a 12km tunnel under a river was going to cost half a 100km collider 😐

      First rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price?

      I don’t remember where I heard that science is super cheap, but I did not belive it first. Some time later I see that it is.
