Every country has their weird investments when it comes to publically-funded ventures. Two I can think of off the top of my head are the U.S. spending $2 million of public funds on other countries's great apes conversation efforts, and spent $2.6 million on studying the drinking habits of Chinese prostitutes.

Government's waste money all the time, unfortunately.

Couple of things:

• Just because waste happens, doesn't mean it should be accepted.
• People still flock to the pyraminds and the palace of versialles, and those royal families no longer exist.
