lol @american healthcare.

$500M/day would represent roughly 1000 megawatts of solar farm, per day. Depending on where said farms are located that could power at least 250,000 homes. For the next 25 years. Per day.

If we can only comprehend war in economic terms then we have already lost everything that makes a society worth preserving.

And that doesn't even include the cost of a caring for a new cohort of traumatized service members with inadequate counseling support and fewer resources for jobs and housing back home

Does that include losses (1 AWACS, at least 5 F15)?

This could fund so much daycare and healthcare and food and housing assistance…

And thats not even counting the reparations trump agreed to-- to rebuild everything trump and Israel have blown up.

Good thing we all just filed our taxes

And thats why they need to cut NASA's science budget next year, so they can fund a few weeks of war with Iran.

Science is great and all, but have you heard of bombing people for no reason?

Cost of residential solar install in CA is 30k.
$500M/$30k= 16,666 solar installs on homes a day. Around 60,000 people a day. Getting free energy for the next 20 years.

There’s some estimates that are considerably higher. Some of the official estimates calculate the cost of the object at the cost at the time of acquisition ie in 2010 a tomahawk cost $10 million but today it will cost $20 million (numbers only for example). Or they used v1 bombs at $100k but they retired them and will replace them with v2 at $400k.

The math is wobbly, to say the least.

Stablest genius.

cool. I think im no longer eleigible for snap.

At over 1 trillion per year, we get about 3 billion poet day. So only 1/6 of regular, planned spending.

But Kamala laughs.
