Erm the state isn't a for-profit entity, in fact if it were to generate a profit for some reason and didn't use that money to improve infrastructure and the living conditions of the people it represents then it would've stopped serving its purpose.

It doesn't matter that their investment doesn't generate revenue, it will improve the lives of the people it represents.
