• . ´¯` . • Brany • . ´¯` . • says:
are you a dem or rep?
Dave Bitton (Gold Medal Coder) says:
here;s something that needs to happen _before_ any group gets help, their needs to be an economic insentive to helping them
• . ´¯` . • Brany • . ´¯` . • says:
true...
Dave Bitton (Gold Medal Coder) says:
what economix incentive does a corporation have to help tjhe poor? none.
• . ´¯` . • Brany • . ´¯` . • says:
then again,. some countries have nothign to give
Dave Bitton (Gold Medal Coder) says:
and in case you haven't taken a business class, but the number 1 objective of any employee is to increase shareholder equity
Dave Bitton (Gold Medal Coder) says:
and you don;t increase share holder equity by giving shit away for free
• . ´¯` . • Brany • . ´¯` . • says:
true.
Dave Bitton (Gold Medal Coder) says:
and until such time as there is a return on investment for helping the disadvantaged, it'll have to accomplished by the fed, and that is as good as nill.
Dave Bitton (Gold Medal Coder) says:
i'll give you a great exampole
• . ´¯` . • Brany • . ´¯` . • says:
are you a big economics guy?
Dave Bitton (Gold Medal Coder) says:
ever look at your phone bill?
• . ´¯` . • Brany • . ´¯` . • says:
you really seem to know your stuff.
• . ´¯` . • Brany • . ´¯` . • says:
umm... kinda. i don't pay for it so...
Dave Bitton (Gold Medal Coder) says:
there's something called a Universal Service Fee
• . ´¯` . • Brany • . ´¯` . • says:
okay, i've seen it
Dave Bitton (Gold Medal Coder) says:
that;s was a tax imposed by the fed to help pay for telecommunications for poor and remote regions of the country
• . ´¯` . • Brany • . ´¯` . • says:
oohh....
• . ´¯` . • Brany • . ´¯` . • says:
so some poor ppl don't pay to have a phone?
Dave Bitton (Gold Medal Coder) says:
why you ask? because there is no economic incentive for telecom providers to do it themselves, and therefore the fed had to step in
Dave Bitton (Gold Medal Coder) says:
it's more has to do w/ infrastructure
• . ´¯` . • Brany • . ´¯` . • says:
oh i see
Dave Bitton (Gold Medal Coder) says:
the fed gives that money back to the telecoms to aid in the build-out of infrastructure that they otherwise would not have implemented because it doesn;t make economic sense. the ROI would be negative, and that is a no-no
• . ´¯` . • Brany • . ´¯` . • says:
right
• . ´¯` . • Brany • . ´¯` . • says:
they won't sacrifice anything
Dave Bitton (Gold Medal Coder) says:
yeah, sure, there's _some_ economic incentive to finding an HIV vacine, someone gets to sell it
Dave Bitton (Gold Medal Coder) says:
why would/should they?
• . ´¯` . • Brany • . ´¯` . • says:
but the research, i think would cost oodles more than the money they'll make of the meds
Dave Bitton (Gold Medal Coder) says:
your absolutely right, and that is why it's taking the time that it is
Dave Bitton (Gold Medal Coder) says:
the fed doesn;t have the $, and therefore hiv research is beholdent upon private donations and some pharama $
Dave Bitton (Gold Medal Coder) says:
pharma
• . ´¯` . • Brany • . ´¯` . • says:
yes...
Dave Bitton (Gold Medal Coder) says:
