  • 30-06 is a large hunting round. It has roughly a 75% larger surface area on the cartridge (the casing, not including the projectile) than a round of 5.56; the standard NATO round,. This is also almost 250% more surface area than 9mm, which the United Healthcare shooter was able to fit 7 characters on with “dispose”, therefore it can reasonably be assumed that you can fit 17 or more characters, which could handily fit “if u read this u r gay”.


  • The shooter used Mauser 98 bolt-action rifle chambered in .30-06 (“thirty-aught-six”). The Mauser 98 is a bolt action rifle; a form of single action, meaning the firearm needs to be recocked before fired again, similar to a old revolver or a Nerf blaster. Since only one shot was fired, no casings actually left the firearm. The spent casing from the fired shot never left the chamber, as it would not be extracted until recocked.

    People are not having kids because the middle class cannot afford it. Assuming your household has the average American household income of 80k. This would give the household something like 40k at most after the kid’s associated expenses, which means that each parent would have a whopping 20k to themselves. This is positively fucked because they would have to have a quality of life similar to someone who is eligible for food stamps, but they would not be themselves. Kids are for those who already benefit from government programs, or those who can afford a very expensive pet for a minimum of 15 years.

    All this will do is increase the number of children born into poverty, which already accounts for the majority of children born in America.

    You want an actual solution? Give parents food stamps up to a yearly income of 120k

    I also find the implication that a human life is worth $5,000 disgusting.

    It was clear to me that when the gov’t went after reproductive rights, it was because declining birthrates are detrimental to capitalism. The money cannot stop; the money cannot slow down. Capitalism REQUIRES exponential growth in every regard.

    Any “moral” reason given by a politician against abortion is a thinly veiled disguise to ensure that the machine always has enough cogs to keep running and growing.

    How are you going to say a fetus is priceless and then say a live infant is worth $5,000? Fucking disgusting.
