No entity on the planet has more money than our governments. It’d be more efficient for a government to fund this than any private company.
Many governments on the planet have less money than some big tech or oil companies. Obviously not those of large industrious nations, but most nations aren't large and industrious.
The government and efficiency don't go together
That's a lazy generalization.
Plenty of research shows that each dollar into government programs gets much more returns than private companies. You’re literally just repeating a neolib propaganda talking point.
