Dear Herve,
When there exist one billion hungry bellies, the priorities of those
starving people are that they receive 365 billion dollars so that they
might eat a daily lunch and then fertilize a barren planet. How can we
justify financing the means to cure society's ills? Without the profit
motive, who would then perform the research?
