nasa
budget cuts are coming. and one of the most obvious targets is nasa. which is really a very very very small part of our budget. it also pays off big time. how? okay, so nasa developed a rocket that spins the fuel really fast so it gets ejected really fast with lower pressure inside the combustion chamber. someone had the bright idea of using the same trick with fire hoses. a single fireman with one of these rocket engine hoses can put out a fire faster and more safely than three firemen wrestling with a traditional hose. like 5x faster. and uses 5x less water too. that's the cool thing about research. you get something from it. it's not wasted money. unlike things from which you never get anyhing. like say, paying people to not work. like say, paying people to do work they'd do if we taxed them instead of subsidizing them. like say, more military than we need. like say, so much military we're tempted to use it to blow shit up. shit we have to rebuild. do the cost/benefit analysis. axe the cost heavy things. boost the benefit heavy things. timmer for president.
