Loudermilk had an episode on this.

And you’re saying that shouldn’t be the case right ? Right ?

I’d insert that Anakin Padme meme here if I had one ready.

By that logic, nothing is a human right since you can find food, water and shelter in the wild.

The problem with that logic is that you assume everyone to be physically able and knowledgeable to live off the land.

That’s exactly my point as well. I’ve got a pair of shoes that I got for $40 around 5 years ago and I still wear them everywhere.

I’m lucky in the sense that I’m bang on average. So most off-the-shelf stuff fits me good enough.

My point was about myself actually. I didn’t mean to generalize to any group as much.

Also, I do agree that super cheap t-shirts don’t really last very long. And my point wasn’t that I’d buy t-shirts only if they’re under $5. But rather that “I’m not spending more than $50 on a t-shirt”.

I’ll go with shoes and clothes (not the work kind)

That does not mean that I’m going out to buy the cheapest I can find. I just mean to say that I don’t buy expensive ones.

And my definition of expensive is $100+ I always make sure to not spend more than $50 on a shoe or any item of clothing (shirts, t-shirts, shorts, jeans)

Nvm, I just read the other comments you’ve posted and it really just feels like you’re trolling and trying to evoke a response out of people. So I’m gonna ignore anything further from you.

Okay I have no idea what your point is here. And it seems like you missed my point too which was that “people who bring in money help fund research, but their contribution of funding shouldn’t diminish the work that the actual scientists do with that money”.

While I do agree that funding is necessary for research, I don’t think the politician who may or may not have brought funding to the project should receive more appreciation than the actual scientists.

Presidents and politicians can claim responsibility for any achievement they want to. Doesn’t mean that they actually have a legitimate claim.

Nobody is mad at india for landing on the moon. Everybody likes that and congratulates the scientists for doing so. However, that doesn’t mean that the rest of the world forgives all the problems that india has.

To draw a comparison, Qatar did a great job of hosting the FIFA world cup 2022 (transportation, immigration logistics wise, excluding accommodation). That doesn’t mean that everyone forgets about the human rights abuses in those countries.

Why would anyone attribute credit to politicians for the work that scientists do ?

I’m so glad Ledesma’s prime neuer phase was over.

This kid is too good to be playing with the B team

I gotta be honest, I was screaming for him to put Ferran through on goal. But boy, am I glad to be wrong!

Man, this kid is just cursed.
