By the numbers

This is interesting. According to the worldometer, the world spends $114 million dollars an hour in the black market for illegal drugs. No stats on what they spend on interdiction.

Meanwhile, the world's governments also spend $60,000 an hour on the military but only $108 an hour on education. You have to wonder whether spending more on education might not change the abysmal numbers on hunger and poverty and thus reduce the need for such horrendous military spending.
