$18.1G , $24.7G ???
ReplyDeleteHow can we be the least bit worried about the measly little $60M they take out of our hide? That is $.06G, a mere 1/4 of 1% of their rake-in.
This is about the same # as the amount spent on basic science in 2006.
The Boston Tunnel clocked in at a total of $14.1G and nobody would seem to call that one a success story.
