How much do we spend killing innocent people abroad every year? We can bring back some fucking rocks thanks

I'm pretty sure that if we, as a specie, stopped wasting money to kill each other, we could give food, shelter, healthcare and education to each of us.

And there would still be enough money left to found this kind of scientific projetcs.
