Why the 1% Treaty

01 — Military to medicine

604 : 1

Every dollar your species spends to cure disease is matched by six hundred and four dollars spent on the means of killing each other. It's almost a hobby at this point.

02 — Waiting list

443 years

At current medical research funding levels, curing the known diseases will take until roughly the year twenty-four hundred and sixty-nine. The humans who have them now will be long dead. Their children too. Their grandchildren probably also.

03 — Killed by war in the last century

310,000,000

Not a typo. Three hundred and ten million humans. In the same century, your species also claims to value human life. Both things cannot be true.

04 — Diseases we could be curing

15 / year

With a twelve-point-three-times larger medical research budget, the world could complete fifteen full disease cures every year. Instead it completes roughly zero. It is not subtle.

05 — Bullets per capita in the American stockpile

850

For every man, woman, and child in the United States, the military has eight hundred and fifty bullets ready to fire. It keeps ordering more. You can check.
