Funding for sports (and the arts) are often the first things

Summary

This quote highlights the tendency of prioritizing budget cuts in sports and arts during challenging periods. When facing financial difficulties, governments and organizations often perceive funding for sports and the arts as non-essential or discretionary expenses that can be reduced. This approach reflects the general belief that such areas do not directly contribute to economic growth or societal well-being. However, this narrow perspective often overlooks the broader benefits of sports and arts in terms of physical and mental well-being, community development, and cultural enrichment.

Molecular biology has shown that even the simplest of all living systems on the earth today, bacterial cells, are exceedingly complex objects. Although the tiniest bacterial cells are incredibly small, weighing less than 10-12 gms, each is in effect a veritable micro-miniaturized factory containing thousands of exquisitely designed pieces of intricate molecular machinery, made up altogether of one hundred thousand million atoms, far more complicated than any machine built by man and absolutely without parallel in the nonliving world.
