That wisnae a nice response.
Anyway, the goals of war-mongering and scientific understanding are complete opposites, but the funding of Trident is far more likely to be diverted from food provision than those allocated to CERN.
Additionally, scientific understanding is exactly the way we should be spending our money. These human goals are precisely what we need to actually progress as a race. Food provision is merely a supply chain issue. We have the technology already to feed the entire planet (and more) we simply choose not to. Indeed, capitalism cannot solve the problem of food shortages as it's built in requirement of profit (and perpetual growth) ensures that someone will always not be able to afford to feed themselves.
By suggesting we divert funds to feed the poor, you're effectively providing the QE of food provision. You're capitalism's bailout, socialising the risks of profit at all costs.
Probably.
