TMT project Could be moved to India... to help "benefit" the people of India or China.
India is in the midst of an economic crisis. Might the solution be to send the TMT to their country?
1) Let's look at a local situation for a comparative example. Puna has a crisis of poverty among many of it's residents. Would the problem be solved if we gave each of those residents a dollar?
2) India has a billion people. The TMT project is estimated to cost $1.4 billion, but those expenditures are spread out across the world to contractors building different parts of the telescope.
Let's say for the sake of argument, the TMT is built in India, and $1 billion is spent in that country. Will $1 per person across the subcontinent of India solve their economic difficulties?
Pass the turkey, please.
