Если не ошибаюсь, это та цепочка ишью из 18.

The first issue in The Chain is called Diamonds Are An Expat's Best Friend! I tell you this because this chain is a once-off per nation - if you dismiss a single issue in it, you're never going to get it again.

Не поняла, что за фигня, но на всякий случай дисмисснула.

Там мелкие изменения, если что. Я брал этот вариант.

A group of scientists have come to your office hoping for grants to explore the deep blue sea.
The Debate

"Our lack of knowledge of the ocean is unacceptable!" lectures Jacques Zissou, Emeritus Professor of Marine Biology. "We know less about the ocean floor than we do the lunar surface. The dearth of research is absurd! Were the government to provide more funding, we could perform studies on marine life, underwater volcanoes, currents, and more. The possibilities are endless. Sure, it'll cost a pretty denarius, but the dissertations will be enthralling."

"Oh sure, let's spend millions of denariuses to find out what's in the ocean. Oh wait, I can already tell you: it's just WATER," your budget advisor remarks sarcastically. "There is no point in spending tax money to know what kind of dirt is on the ocean floor. The government should scrap all research projects designed without real economic benefit. The last thing Rex Ventorum needs is yet another harebrained scheme to study the mating habits of dolphins or something comparably ridiculous."

Мне не нравится это ишью про океан. Брать с людей деньги ради того чтобы изучать какие-нибудь вещи которые не имеют никакого значения в развитии актуальных технологий или способов решения различных проблем (например медицина) - не мой вариант.

Подумай, на что пойдут эти средства: на совершенствование подводных лодок (а как без глубинных штуковин изучать всяких там удильщиков?), на тренировку людей, на получение некоторых знаний, которые затем могут пригодиться в совсем других сферах.
