It's so sad. Study after study have shown that the ROI on publicly funded research is anywhere from 20% to 100% depending on the industry.
These morons don't understand science enough to even realize how they benefit from it every day.
Damn near everything in our modern world is a consequence of research. Why do people never realize this? Your phone is not just some magic object from the heavens.
Yeah but, what's science done for us all lately? Some scientists even say stuff that makes me uncomfortable and I don't like it.
/s
People in UFO communities actually do think some technology came from the heavens.
yeah, but where do you think that information comes from? that's right, research. it's research papers all the way down.
don't get carried away by big research /s
NOT TRUE IN CASE OF ARGENTINA. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH EFFECT SOCIETY HAS FROM 150% INFLATION? go to argentina and you'll vote right wing too!
"my house isn't on fire enough, let me pour some gas on it and really get those flames a-burnin" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nope. Contiued stealing by comunist narcos has driven entire country (continent) to ruins.
GO BACK TO VENEZUEEEEELAA
Exactly how does electing a clown fix the problem though
Maybe go and find out the real situation. I also hate Trumo and bolsonaro
But noboa & Milei are LITERAL HEROES.
They're heroes for saying they want to cut science funding, access to abortion, and sex education?
How is doing any of those things going to fix inflation?
Yes, cut money to frivolous spending and focus on spending the few dollars they got to improve their country, not just a few life science majors
Cutting $400 million to fix an $80+ billion dollar budget is like cutting a $0.40 expense to fix an $80 bill.
It's also incredibly absurd to insist that science only benefits scientists while using the internet.
Buckle in because you're getting what you voted for.
Just twenty more like that and it's fixed!
What does that have to do with publicly funding science?
Oh man, you're going for a reality check if you think that neo liberalism politics, anti science, climate change denial is going to solve any of your problems. Maybe it will solve, for the 1%.
It wasn't that close of a call dude. You still have 45% of your country that might disagree
Nope, they are just the meek. Milei will indeed be a president for Argentina. Not for some party. Even if hyper right&religious like n idiot IT IS MERELY BETTER AS THE ALTERNATIVE CAREER POLITICIANS.
Well only time will tell. I didn't downvoat or upvoted your comment because no one knows.
Who ever the hell tells you they got the answer are lying to you, no one knows
Edit:including this
Indeed. But HISTORY has already spoken.
Dude, don't be party-ist. Don't compare with usa
PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY IF INFLATION IS 150% FOR A YEAR.
can you imagine several years?
LITERALLY ALL SAVINGS WILL HAVE DISSAPPEARED.
can you even begin to comprehend this..? If so, you'd QUICKLY leave your left wing rethoric and join WHATEVER SIDE gets rid of all those incapable career politicians... Dude...
And please do downvote me if you are so inclined. I do not gather points here.
Oh boy after all I said you still think that...
Sorry about that, I didn't know you drank lead water when you where a child.
You are the one that does NOT understand anything mate.
Have you even ever BEEN to a country with 100%+ inflation per year for several years? If not, ANY point you make is just basement dweller brabbles
People downvoting me have not been to Argentina lately.
Basement tankies.
COMUNISM IS A GOOD IDEA WHAT A SHAME ALL THEIR LEADERS ARE ALWAYS CROOKS ALWAYS.
Dude. You are arguing with people who are explicitly NOT tankies. Nobody is claiming communism is a solution, just saying that going for the anti-intellectual guy with no implementable policies is not going to help. He is a rent seeker that is good at riling up crowds.
He is a populist.
YOU DO NOT KNOW THE HORROR OF THE LAST DECADE. FU
Electing a far right clown isn't going to fix things though. It never has.
