Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

You could end world hunger for a hundred years or more for that amount of money. You could obliterate entire illnesses from the face of the earth. You could give expansive homes to every human being on Earth. This is the US dollar too, a famously high value bill (propped up by imperialism and death of course but my point still stands). And we are using to to kill people??
Edit: We could strip mine asteroids for that much money and start building a Dyson sphere. Almost every silicone valley hallucination ever conceived could be made a reality.
Edit 2: This amount of funding makes it hard for me to believe we aren’t approaching WW3, though that still seems unlikely
Edit 3: I mildly overestimated… heavily overestimated the buying power of that much money. Jesus Christ what is happening with inflation. I’m pretty sure the illnesses one is true though. They could delete Covid with that much money.
So cis men simply have the most inordinately expensive form of gender affirming care? Trans people stay winning
I really agree that we are going to move into some ww3 kind of situation. I just doubt true global hot war is possible but some kind of proxy on proxy on proxy thing.
