    Facts. Not just that… our government is infatuated with spending tax dollars on really stupid studies. For example quails high on cocaine.

    And these amongst a long list of other wasteful spending:

    Fauci’s NIAID spent $478,188 to turn monkeys transgender $6.9 million smart toilet analyzes “anal print” Feds give $300,000 to virtual reality penguin study The State Department gave $25,000 in grants to Chinese surfers Harvard spent $75,000 in federal grants to blow lizards off trees with leaf blowers
