Re: How much to wire the entire population Saying "The investment in our military is also not generating any returns." is short sighted.
Through the military budget, thousands (maybe millions) of people are being employed. Whether it is directly as armed soldiers and the like, working at defence contractors, or in R&D centers. Additionally, a secondary level of employment exists in the form of additional revenue being brought into companies that supply electronic parts an testing equipment, manufacturing machines (CNC's, milling machines, lathes, etc.), and all sort so other supplies. Looking all this, saying that it is not generating any returns is a little short sighted as the returns can be found in the economy, to start with. |
