Would it be wiser to collaborate and team up to develop technology?
Would collaboration waste less resources (people, money, equipment, energy, etc.)?
Would a country that coordinates R&D efforts hold an advantage over ones that didn't?
Maybe a little less competition and a little more collaboration?
Employees are supposed to collaborate, why not companies?
Get compensated according to effort put in and results of those efforts, or split it evenly.
Maybe, form a consortium for companies interested in developing that technology and everyone gets to share the results of the research and development.
Usually when companies need money for R&D, they issue bonds or new shares. The wise ones get the government to give them money and use media to persuade the public with promises of jobs and a good economy.
If governments continue to give money to companies for no return but promises of jobs and good economy, then the poor will continue to be poor. Give the poor bonds or stock in the companies receiving government money. That will definitely help the poor with no loopholes and minimal overhead.
There are many more things wrong with society. Stop believing the media which disproportionately represents the rich and take TIME to THINK about things. Some poor people envy and try to emulate the rich, compounding the problem. Some poor people even think that the rich are smarter and better. Why? Society and peer pressure.
People need to look at things from more than just one perspective. Being slightly poor and being rich both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Why do people envy Chanel handbags and such? Because they probably don't have one. I don't have one and I don't care. But if you are of the opposite sex...
Cartier watches? I have one. Would never buy one. Got it as a gift. Over $6,000 for an electronic movement watch, albeit in gold and steel. The mechanical ones are over $14,000, I think. Used to envy expensive things, not anymore.
Expensive things are not of much use to one who endeavors to be alone. No one to impress. Haven't worn a watch in over a decade, almost two.
