I dont disagree that we spend too much on defense but the idea that we should stop all spending on science to help out some nurses is super strange.
Its akin to saying we should stop funding nasa be ause who needs space travel.
Also please stop glorifying a set profession as some kind of ulturistic calling. Theyre in it for the money and prestige, and frankly, wouldnt be there otherwise.
If you want to thank someone, thank the delivery guy, the supermarket clerks, the flight attendants, or the casual staff out of the job right now.
These people are feeling the brunt of this. These people are the front line.
Many of my in-laws are medical professionals: GPs, surgeons, physicians, anaesthetists, nurses, the list goes on.
Not a single one of them has done it for financial gain or prestige, and for the most part the driving force really does seem to be a genuine desire to help people. (I’m based in the UK, going into medicine for money or prestige would be a fool’s errand.)
Please don’t make assumptions about things with which you are clearly unfamiliar, and if you must do so please do not assert them as facts.
