Many of the things that 0.001% of people don't care about are needed to maintain our quality of life. People don't care about these things because they don't have to - they are basic infrastructure that they can take for granted.

And how much worse would your life be now if the government hadn't spent a few of your precious tax dollars building the capacity to rapidly develop and roll out vaccines? How many people think about things like plant diseases, or nuclear security, or consumer product safety? The funny thing is that if the government only did things that people cared about, the number of things that people would have to care about would skyrocket.
