Making people feel good is an actual outcome. In fact, it's the only actual outcome.
Who cares about quarterly profits, and budget savings, and a strong economy, and anything else, if it doesn't make people feel good? Our laws and our economy should be designed with the intention of having a society of people who are happy. If the system isn't designed to increase happiness, then everything it accomplishes is pointless.
Everyone else who pays taxes towards a program like the NDIS is giving up a little of their own quality of life.
Hookers shouldn’t be getting NDIS funds paid to them when there are still people going without and this is part of balancing the budget to ensure the NDIS is sustainable.
More of my tax is going to the NDIS than to Medicare.
I would rather funds be spent on Medicare than hookers but you do you.
