Cool. And how many slums would be fixed or orphaned children's lives forever changed with the money that goes into purchasing ONE of these stupid planes? I swear, humans have completely lost touch with reality.

One hill I'm willing to die on is that trickle down economics just straight up doesn't work. I don't think investing in weapons manufacturing programs is the way to fix the level of poverty India was thrown into after what the English did to them. You need a more direct approach. The money needs to go towards sanitation, feeding the hungry, education. There are people who live worse than wild animals down the street from mansions full expensive b.s. I think that's wrong and humans have an obligation to not let entire populations of people living in filth and garbage.
