“The Russian AIDS vaccine, which has been in development for 15 years and whose testing has, in principle, already reached the finish line, will now be ready unknown when, or maybe not at all. The money, they say, has run out. But where did it end, I wonder? It doesn’t happen that you had money yesterday, but today you look and it’s gone, unless, of course, you were robbed.
After all, we all somehow calculate our budget, think through our expenses, assume what we can spend our money on and what we can’t. That is why most still somehow make ends meet. Although there are exceptions. You succumbed to courage and drank away your money. Or lost in an underground casino. Then you can really say that the money was taken and ran out."
