If we did n't waste it what would we do with it?
So is that a tacit agreement that the money is mostly funny money. That were it directed at say 'development' in africa or central asia ( see -no personal axe to grind) it would not really be all that effective.
What would it take to create a scenario where the 'best off' 280 million in the world consider it a worthwhile challenge to address the fate of the 1-2 billion poor? That seems the real waste to me, that we go on and on with techno toys with no sense of being fellow travellers on this planet with all the others. If the first world governments starting with europe had more women in positions of power would it make a difference?
BTW: really appreciate your insisting on introducing facts to the discussions without taking sides
