I have a fun method for visualizing large sums of money...
1 million in $100 bills fits in a briefcase, Used wisely, that's enough for a family of four to be modestly set up for life.
100 million is a pallet. 400 people set for life.
1 billion is 10 pallets. It fits in a small shipping container, 4000 people. 2.3B is also a milestone for me; it covers one Yankee stadium, or 1 Vegas sphere. That's 1 semi truck plus three pickups with one pallet each.
A large train car, double stacked, holds four small containers (4B). 16,000 people.
10 train cars (40B), 160,000 people. A medium sized city, set for life.
Average train carries about 100 cars (400B), so 1.6 million people, set for life. 10 small cities.
The west has sent 5T, just to Africa, since the 70's, iirc. That's 12.5 TRAINS OF CASH! 20 million people, set for life. 125 small cities, SET FOR LIFE. 2173 Yankee stadiums.
Large container ships hold about 20,000 small containers. So one container ship holds about 20T. 80 million people, set for life. 500 small cities or almost 10 NYC's, set for life.
Vaccines plus cancer is about 300B per year, iirc. 7.5 cities, set for life, every year. 130 Yankee stadiums.

Thanks, bro, for the visualization!
No problem. It really helps me.
100 million saved is one pallet of cash. The debt is measured in cargo ships full of cash.
Like someone who is in debt for millions skipping a cup coffee.
Wish I could have just one briefcase, though. Maybe the billion dollar lotto numbers will come calling soon!
Several billion at 100+ million a year.
The U.S Contribution to the U.N Budget was 13 Billion for 2023.
Drawn out over the life of the organization. It’s easily hundreds of Billions. If not into the Trillions accounting for the fact that Inflation has sliced the value of Dollars
It’s eye watering and disgusting given the amount of homeless people, especially used up veterans.
Honestly. Once we cut out bankrolling half the fucking world.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we find out U.S Finances aren’t anywhere near as bad as many have made them out to be. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re back in the black finances wise.
I agree, these are eye watering levels of theft and grift.
Good point we need to quit funding all of it.
100 million is one pallet of cash. The debt is measured in cargo ships full of cash.
The U.S on average prior to 2024 contributed about a full quarter of the Regular U.N Budget. The amount varied slightly year over year. As of 2023 it was reportedly 22% or 13 Billion Dollars. Comparatively for 2024. The 5 Countries to pay the most after the U.S. Japan, France, Germany, Italy, and the U.K contributed 820.2 Million Dollars combined.
And the U.S also accounts for about 27-28% of the budget for Peacekeeping Missions. Though I didn’t see a monetary amount listed just a percentage
Trillions. Next please.
The only response to which is default
Trump: "No, tell 'em I don't want to meet. No calls, either. Tell 'em zero. Zilch. Nothing. That's clear."
Since 1963 I would guess about a trillion a year!
The ILO is itself a money suck. Trump needs to fully defund it of USD.
Go President Trump. Keep the spending cuts coming. The Cabal has enough of our money, but as usual, they want it all.
Stop paying income tax guys. You can, and should, fight back.
Cut their budget, YUGELY!
Who's they??
Judging by the context of the Article. The UN and the plethora of associated International Organizations, NGOs, and ‘Charities’ that ultimately are directly or indirectly bankrolled by the U.S Taxpayer.
Geez they're all in our pockets.
As we say in Ireland, “they are living in your ear”.
Filthy treacherous parasites.
And white Anglo Saxon Caucasians are the target.
