    Lol, what? Where did you get the word ‘progress’ from? Seems like a loaded argument.

    Try to be more direct and don’t put words in my mouth. Argue with what I’m saying, not with what sounds nice in your head.

      In that case you should formulate your thoughts more clearly. Right now it reads as exactly that — “stop wasting money on progressing in this field because look at this_problem”. So, what did you actually mean by your comment then?

        “This” problem won’t be solved if we keep passing a bunch of money around at the top.

        Like I said before, it’s a pretty simple concept if you put forth even the slightest amount of effort into understand it.

        At this point, if you don’t get it then that’s on you.

        Let’s be real though: you’re just flustered because you think the disparity in wealth should grow instead of shrink. Just admit it, bro. Then we can all move on with our lives.

          Ok, so googling it now, it seems like Indian space program has a budget of about $1,5 mln (holy shit they launched using that? I’m doubly impressed). I’m pretty sure that’s just the cost of some couch in the Antilia building.

          So I still fail to see your point. This is nothing compared to country’s budget, not even a rounding error.

          Also, I think that the wealth disparity should decrease as much as possible, and the fact that that’s what you got from my comments is just weird.

              Have you misread my comment or have we been visiting completely different internets? Most of the people who are against wealth inequality are happy to point that out.

                No, most of the people I come across are tribalistic to their core.

                Since neither tribe is saying, in clear and concise terms, “the disparity in wealth should shrink instead of grow,” a lot of people lose sight of what’s really going on.

                I like to spell it out for them leaving no room for ambiguity. Those who are afraid to answer the question are only like that because they’re ashamed of their answer.
