        22 caliber rimfire rounds are by far the cheapest at around 6 cents per round, but they are pretty under powered and are really only good for target shooting and squirrels IMO. Your best pistocl caliber price is 9mm at 25 cents, and rifle caliber is 5.56/.223 Rem at about 50 cents each. That’s for standard FMJ ball ammo, with prices rising for hollow points, frangibles, TUI, etc.

          But maybe having 10 people shoot the fuckers repeatedly with 22’s would feel better?

      So glad I went to college and grad school to get a job at a biotech, helping produce life saving drugs, just to barely live paycheck to paycheck with 5 digit credit card debt.

      The amount of times I think about suicide is too high for my liking. Honestly why do people even have kids anymore. Fuck this place.

        It’s 100 billion, if you actually heard million, someone misspoke. Don’t listen when Dr. Evil talks about amounts of money.

        Your figures are wonky. There are ~42 million people on SNAP.

    That’s an interesting way to phrase “have stolen”.

    The poor & dimwitted rubes who voted for trump see this as a good thing. They claim to be Christian but really they worship money.

    If it makes you feel better, I’ve noticed a lot, lot more private security in the uber-rich neighborhood I have to pass to get to work.

    They’re scared.
