$1 million dollars to everybody living in the USA with billions left over.

Healthcare? Nope, too expensive.

Better water or power service? Nope, too expensive.

Public transport? Nope, too expensive.

War? Oh shit yeah! Money 🖨 go brrrrr!

Nah it’s only 337 dollars to everyone living in the USA. But I agree that it would have bought a lot of healthcare and infrastructure instead of pouring it down the toilet that is the Ukrainian military.

you seemed to double down on your math error instead of investigating and correcting it. It just looks silly unless there was a a joke I missed.

if libs saw this they would post this to a tankiejerk comm saying “Hexbear can’t math. Explains why they like communism 100 billion dead” etc. I don’t wanna give them easy Ws.

Okay so I’m seeing less of a math error and more of a, I didn’t specifically say give everybody living in the USA $1million dollars each. So… like… 11 billion minus what… somewhere around 400 million is like… counts on fingers, 10 billion and change for war and 400 million people with some cash in pocket to pay bills or buy new teeth or whatever.

Instead, the comment decided to interpret my lack of specificity as, “$1million divided up between 400million.” Which is genuinely funny and I figured I would roll with the dig.

And I mean, liberals are gonna liberal. I’m not too worried about it. But I can appreciate the concern.
