So, Larry, you say something like this: to fix this problem we need 9
digit figure in US currency. But, you say, there are other concerns that
can be more beneficial (as in "saving more lives"), so let us *not* fix
this problem, but rather apply the money elsewhere???
Pardon my french here, but I say it is outright bullshit. You have a point
in a sense that thought and planning need be applied here. I wonder
however, what will make you change your mind? 1000 deaths per year instead
of 10? Or may be 100 deaths in your state instead of none? Or may be
something even more serious than that?
all Larry has suggested is doing what every person and organisation does
when they are looking at spending money - asking the question 'is this the
best way of spending the money'.
When people first get involved in developing a business case at work they
think every project that has a good business case should be done. But
they're not taking into account that the budget is limited so you have to
spend the money on the project with the best business case.
In other words, if you're going to spend that money you should spend it on
the project with the biggest return. Especially if you're using taxpayers'
money.
