- A stunning chart. The amount taxpayers in @cern.bsky.social member states are willing to contribute to an ongoing science mission centred around the Future Circular Collider is consistently larger than the current actual tax contribution per capita in each member state. Link: t.co/n87m431yB7 ⚛️🧪
- "The report shows that the value of a scientific research programme based on a FCC perceived by respondents is higher than the actual tax amount transferred to CERN by the respective countries. and therefore no discrepancies exist between the WTP and the contributions actually paid today..."
- This data puts the lie to the idea that taxpayers are tired of being fleeced for new experiments (at CERN) and corrupt theoretical programs. Data >> partisan political ideology, vibes, and "trust me, bro! I know what the public wants!"Jan 22, 2026 15:58
