Almost sounds like a Jeopardy Question. I'll take "Who was Alex Jones in the early nineties" for 300 Alex. Lets see, who was Bill Hicks?

I did not even see that. And I loved Bill Hicks. They do look very much alike.

My favorite joke of his was about him being a heavy smoker.

I smoke three lighters a day.

Bill Hicks

SEC approves new Silicon Valley stock exchange backed by Marc Andreessen, other tech heavyweights

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/10/sec-...vyweights.html

Backed by top Valley figures such as venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, the Long-Term Stock Exchange was born out of concern from the nation's tech elite who were frustrated about the public market's focus on near-term profit.

Amazon's Bezos unveils lunar lander project 'Blue Moon'

The goal is to land on the Moon's south pole, where ice deposits were confirmed in 2018. Water can be exploited to produce hydrogen, which in turn could fuel future exploration of the solar system.

the moon prolly has water deposits in the south pole. that's fine if they are going to be using chemical rockets that rely on H2 and O2 gases..

but I think that's the wrong way to go. Ion engines which is being developed is the way to go. Its faster than chemical rockets.

I don't really care if there is or isn't. My point is that research and development can be better directed. On Earth for heaven's sake.

Thats understandable. What exactly what would you like to see researched and developed further to make Earth a better place to live?

Better directed by "whom" and for what exact causes.

I personally don't care where people direct their individual monies or money that can raise into what research and development tasks they choose are fit.

Many consider space exploration and technology as what will save this species long term from both over population, a doomed planet. Also, the amount of basic technology that has benefitted all of us by the space program(s) is unbelievable.

But, since you consider capitalism a failure and you don't want these people making their large sums of money in the first place, it's not surprising you want to "direct" where their money can be spent.

[eccieuser9500]

Right. Health care.

The healthier the population, the better quantiy and quality of production. It saves a shitload of money because you've taken care of the workers since they've been healthy from the beginning of their lives.

But how would hospitals, pharmaceuticals manufacturing and greedy doctors be able to pay for their toys?

Practical benefits as opposed to squeezing maximum profit through dependence and health insurance costs. Even improving the environment reduces out-of-work sick days.

The recommendation of the NIH is to spend the money on a Cure for Liberal-Progressive-Socialist-Totalitarianism Idiot-ideology.
Amanita phalloides has been suggested.
