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
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.
Cue the brain drain when scientists and researchers start leaving.
Believe me, with 150% inflation they have left a LONG TIME AGO
It’s astonishing and terrible to see populist politicians still saying that climate change is a hoax - and getting elected. It’s never been more obvious that what scientist have been saying about global warming (e.g. Exxon’s scientists have been saying since 1977) is true and having real world consequences today.
Is it in reaction to everything getting scary? It’s such a seductive alternative to accepting that we’re fucked - just put your faith in someone who says it’s all untrue. A cartoon parent figure to comfort you as the word burns.
I can’t put into words what I think about people who even doubt climate change, let alone deny its existence. I just… if the data isn’t enough, I honestly don’t know what to say.
How about the people that welcome climate change? So much rain in California it kept the Jewish Space Lasers from igniting the forests this year.
In Michigan Deer season starts on November 15, and this year it was 60°F where I am. I mowed the lawn Saturday. I’ve never seen t-shirt weather this late in the year. I’m a little terrified this warm weather is going to bury us in snow come January.
Current forecast for my location in southern Saskatchewan is 11°C (52F) for a high. About 6 weeks ago, we got a proper start to winter with a few cm of snow (maybe 1.5 in) and thought was given to plugging in the block heater. That was it.
Since then, temperatures have been a bit below freezing overnight and a bit over freezing during the day, with quite a few days like today, where it’s way above freezing. Any sloughs and dugouts that had started freezing over are now pretty much ice free. The last few days have been nice enough for people to put their boats in to go fishing.
We heat with a pellet stove. So far, our pellet consumption is about 50% of last year’s, about 30% of our worst year, and about 35% of our 15 year average.
And apart from a “cooler” day tomorrow with a small chance of snow, there is no end in sight. Even assuming that we get back to something normal by Xmas, it could be February before it’s safe to go ice fishing.
It’s always the same playbook with these guys…
What a time to be alive!
Lefties LITERALLY sold the country to China and suffer YEARS AND YEARS OF 150%/YEAR INFLATION. that Kills the human society.
The Peronists aren’t left wing though; they’re nationalists, not socialists.
chuckles in Spanish I’m in danger.
Argentina suffered so much inflation their MONTHLY WAGE IS LESS AS 200$ NOW. Less. Than half of Ecuador. Ppl. Suffer from tankies selling their ENTIRE COUNTRY TO CHINA
Doesn’t he have five or so cloned dogs? He believes in some science and plans on revitalizing tourism by opening the first real Jurassic Park.
He’s insane. But 150% INFLATION EACH YEAR means EVERY SINGLE FAMILY SUFFERING
So your solution is elect a far right party? Far right politics has been known to make inflation worse this century, not better.
Seems humans are on a “burn the world” speed run. New dark ages incoming.
Anti science ? What the hell is that
I keep forgetting he looks like one of the Beatles
I am 1% & u too. If u like it or not
