    I would for sure, but I’m also assuming China has adequate health care.

      i mean the reason why the US doesnt have healthcare is not because there isnt enough money or whatever

      its because the government is beholden to whatever special interests who benefits from the current situation

        but I’m not talking about the money. I mean personally, in an imaginary prioritized list, healthy people comes before big fancy rings. But I don’t know enough about particle accelerators to know what comes in between, if that makes sense?

          I mean for the US

          Its probly like:

          #1 imperialism ...

          ...

          #5000 fancy ring

          #5001 healthcare

          Anyways death to america

          Also this thing probably wont get funding

          They've wanted to build one for years now and its still not happening

          Unless you're saying that particle physicists only get to do this after they form the vanguard the "but I’m not talking about the money" doesn't clarify things if you accept that there is no conflict between universal health care and this project.

            What. WHAT. All I’m saying is, if you’re going allocate funding to anything it should be to peoples health and happiness first and foremost. The idea of putting cost of the two projects head to head is unfair due to the years and years of healthcare negligence.

      democrats campaigned against shit by saying we needed to spend money on poverty and then didn't spend money on poverty.

      We can walk and chew gum.

      Or rather, whether or not we’re chewing gum has no impact on if we’ll walk. We won’t be walking regardless, but that has nothing to do with the gum chewing.

      China has adequate health care.

      Sorta? It has cheap healthcare but their system is really different from any of the western European systems.
