You're not wrong, but we're talking about 50c worth of deworming medicine to change the long term outcomes of someone's life drastically.

Thats just insane.




Yeah but today policy is determined by tie-wearing businessman with Excel spreadsheets and fancy words like "opportunity cost" etc and anyway why spend 50c per person when you can spend the equivalent of $100 in some fancier military gear /s

I'm all for planning and financial outlooks but there's a point where this becomes "let them eat cake"
