Are your governments wasting trillions on excess mass-murder capacity while you and everyone you love are slowly tortured and murdered by horrible diseases? Earth Optimization Services repairs your government and maximizes the health and wealth of your civilization. Call today!
You pay your governments a year to promote the general welfare, which means raising median health and wealth. They never check whether any policy or budget actually does. We analyze two centuries of data from 193 countries with causal inference to find the policies and budgets that do.
