Corporate funding is just as precarious, so is selling a product.
It depends on what you are trying to do. In some areas public funding can be the

most, or only, viable way. For some things selling a packaged product to

customers is a possible choice. Sometimes just doing it with whatever resources

you can gather, plus a big dose of personal effort and passion can get amazing

things done.
In some countries we are certainly voting consistently to reduce publicly funded

activities. Our societies will lose some very worthwhile things because of this,

but fortunately this habit is not universal, and not irreversible.
Other countries are supporting education and culture publicly, and those that

don't may change their collective mind in the future.
