The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“…3,400 kilos of fentanyl since you’ve been here, your last hundred days, which saved, are you ready for this, media? two hundred and fifty eight million lives.”

Sadly, Bondi's math is wrong (though it's unspecified where she got her implication). According to the DEA website dea.gov - Facts about fentanyl, 1 kilo of fentanyl has the potential to kill 500,000 people. That means 3,400 kilos can kill 1,700 million people. That's 5 times the total population of the U.S.

Of course, it's idiotic to suppose that just because a given amount of fentanyl COULD kill X number of people, doesn't mean that all those people were actually saved by removing that fentanyl!
