Connecting the dots on a few recent news stories:
- The Ebola break out
- The near miss of an asteroid
- A prediction that we are headed for a mass extinction event similar to the dinosaurs
- The border crisis
Our government spends an ungodly amount of money on surveillance of law abiding citizens and micro managing private aspects of our daily lives and business.
It seems to me we would be better off concentrating resources on
- Securing our borders
- Developing vaccines and treatments for viral and biological threats
- Surveillance and detection of Major Asteroids
- Systems to destroy said Asteroids
Futurists often predict that humanity will be wiped out by epidemics or an asteroid, so why spend our resources on nanny stating people about what they eat and drink and on collecting up their emails?
