Behold! A $100,000-dollar American missile, launched by a $20 million plane that flies at a cost of $6,000 dollars/hour to kill people who live on less than $3 a day in Iran.

Meanwhile in America, Republican lawmakers believe that a $6.20 daily SNAP benefit providing food to a needy person is wasteful spending, so A BIG BEAUTIFUL ACT of legislation was passed to remedy that in order to bolster the economy of the greatest nation in the world. —Jacob Lassiter

‘On about February 14th the Americans came over, followed by the RAF. Their combined labours killed 250,000 people in twenty-four hours and destroyed all of Dresden — possibly the world’s most beautiful city. But not me.

We were put to work carrying corpses from air-raid shelters; women, children, old men; dead from concussion, fire or suffocation. Civilians cursed us and threw rocks as we carried bodies to huge funeral pyres in the city.’

— Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. on a letter to his father, dated May 29th, 1945
