The mother of all bullshit

At least balloons are fun

The United States dropped the most powerful non-nuclear bomb ever built on Afghanistan today.  Known also as the "Mother of All Bombs" (Massive Ordinance Air Blast bomb, or MOAB), the force of the blast of said bomb is the equivalent of 11 tons of TNT.

Apparently this is quite a big deal, as it has been one of the top stories of the day.

However, when you consider that for the billions that was spent to create and deploy an implement that's sole purpose is to blow shit up we could have furthered cancer research, or fixed thousands of crumbling bridges, or put thousands of people through college, or fed millions of hungry people, or built thousands of apartments for the homeless...the fact that we dropped the biggest non-nuclear bomb ever built seems about as consequential as a fart in the midst of a hurricane.

Fuck Donald Trump,
