    “What’s up with the wax by the slow cooker?”

    “Well, I’ve read about 10 papers on high performance cycling and have concluded, that hot waxing my chain may save about half a watt.”

    “When did you last ride it?”

    “Also a good question, indeed.”

    I’m too lazy to look up the numbers, but I think the premise of this argument is rather weak.

    Money spend on social welfare, vastly improves poor people’s lives. When you spend it on corporate welfare, the money tends to go into the pockets of people who are already pretty comfortable.

    This is a simplification of a multifaceted issue, but by and large I think this holds a lot more water than just comparing numbers.

    Also: There was a pandemic in the time period given, so there might be some selection bias.
