It's interesting that you're proud of this and think it's a great use of tax dollars. To me it is the great shame of Canada funding bread and circuses to this extent rather than pushing the production possibility frontier out through actual research funding/ focusing on bringing research from the lab to the industrial scale production line. This seems like mostly a waste, especially since there are quite a lot of private options for entertainment content. I hope we can continue to disagree so utterly and vehemently while also maintaining civility. That is something I think we both can agree is great.
- Kranar 3y agoI have no idea what "production possibility frontier out through actual research funding/ focusing..." is even remotely supposed to mean, but the Canadian government invests in a wide array of areas including industry and research. In fact the SRED (scientific research and experimental development) tax credit is quite possibly the most generous research and development credit generally available to companies in the world.
- snapplebobapple 3y agoYes, i am aware that some of what the government funds may be considered useful for increasing productivity through technological advancement. I wasn't commenting on that subset of the gargantuan spending machine that is our government. I was commenting on the clear waste of money funding the modern equivalent of bread and circuses that is this portion of the spending.
