    Guys, the trick is to get it partially built and then cancel funding. Then scientists will never trust you to fund anything ever again, and you get to act like science is a waste of money while you’re spending ridiculous sums on fighter jets.

    Yes, I am still bitter about Waxahatchie.

    Budget: Military Complex > CERN

    Long term value to citizens: CERN > Miltary Complex

    All historical CERN expenses combined are a tiny fraction of the yearly expenses of the combined EU miltary

    Fun fact, they were going to build one in the US crossing the borders of LA, TX, AR. They even dug out the damn hole, but they shit canned the whole project so now we’re just left with a random giant circular hole underground.

    Edited AK to AR. That would have been a bit excessive.
