The Las Vegas Sphere might have an impressive spec sheet, but its energy demands are almost as staggering.

    We can do that, but first let’s make sure everyone on the planet has clean water first.

      The money spent on this would not have been spent on giving clean water to people thousands of miles away

          Hey, it’s just $2,300,000,000

          Can’t even feed a packed homeless shelter for that much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Does this really make it any less worthy of criticism, though…?

        Maybe it would’ve if governments taxed them properly and spent that money to save the planet

        How about using it for the free school lunches that the Governor decided to veto for some fucking reason?

          We would rather have the children starve to death than being called a communist.

          It was privately funded, this money would not have gone to school lunches

      This is the equivalent of saying “Eat all your dinner cause there’s starving children in Africa”.

      Sure, this sounds nice, but this logic falls apart the instant you start thinking about it.

      You sound like the people criticising NASA for spending money on science. “Who do X when Y is still an issue?”

      I doubt you make that kind of prioritization with your own money.
