Why isn't this part of the national defense budget? You know, we've sunk >$1.5T over the past decade into preventing our citizens from becoming casualties of "terrorism", which account for ~0% of all fatalities in a given year.
I don't know about you, but I'd feel much better about our leadership if that money would have been spent on something more relevant to the health of the average citizen, such as anti-aging research.
- zanny 14y agoWhy are they spending the money? Why aren't billionaires trying to extend their lives with private research they fund? The US is already doomed to an economic disaster from the current debt combined with unfunded commitments down the road. I guess get as much good out of the sinking ship as possible?
