Damn and here we all were just hoping a public bus will hit us.

u/Dave-Copafeel May 06 '26

Or United Airlines

Or United Airlines hitting a truck that hits you.

Thats like get a call to donate to White House Ballroom wealth.

u/Great-Rest7878 May 06 '26

Taxpayers are going to end up paying for that anyway.

u/waffles350 May 06 '26

Yup, and it's up to a billion dollars now...

u/AdMiserable4860 May 06 '26

Honestly, I wouldnā€™t be shocked if it was an additional 1 billion on top of the 430 million they previously stole from us to do this bs.

u/EntertainmentOk3180 May 07 '26

They already requested a billion on top of the donated money. The question now is how far over budget is it gonna go?

Itā€™s such a sad waste of money.

One billion dollars could build 2,000 half-million dollar houses.. Or 4,000 quarter-million dollar housesā€¦

A billion dollars could fund tuition for approximately 30,000-35,000 community college students to get 2 year degrees

One billion dollars could pay for an entire year of daycare for 67,000-100,000 US children

Itā€™s cute you think itā€™s only a billion dollarsā€¦

u/AdMiserable4860 May 09 '26

Oh no I honestly bet theyā€™ll bump it to 100 billion with an extra trillion to Israel just for funnsies šŸ˜›

Yes, but conservatives don't like hiring out to private companies for government events and prefer them to be held in government funded buildings /s

u/Direct_Tomorrow_9927 May 08 '26

And they LOVE contracting their friends to do work. Cronyism to the max!

u/Dirmbz May 07 '26

A good chunk of that is the bunker they're building under it. A ballroom doesn't cost that much even with contractors gouging.

Or United Airlines hitting a light pole that hits a truck that hits you.

u/Horskr May 06 '26

With my luck I'd be hit by Spirit Airlines.

u/Rhino676971 May 06 '26

Still a possibility there has been a bunch of ex spirit aircraft flying to storage in Arizona and California.

u/jtr99 May 06 '26

u/Horskr preparing to transparently throw themselves in front of the nose gear as the aircraft taxis for the final time...

u/Rainebowraine123 May 06 '26

That would be pretty impressive considering they no longer exist

u/chrisp5000 May 07 '26

They just went out of the airline business, you're safe from them now.

u/-GhostMode May 10 '26

Rather spirit than Frontier

u/SalmonManner May 09 '26

Ask Frontier ...šŸ˜¬

u/CatfinityGamer May 06 '26

No, what you want is to get hit by truck-kun so you can reincarnate in another world.

18

u/Nonyabeesners May 06 '26

Isekai me, truk-kun. I am ready

u/CodeineK1ng May 06 '26

What is this gif from? It looks so familiar

u/mooninhereyes May 06 '26

Sabrina Carpenter's Manchild music video

u/Kthulhu42 May 07 '26

Nah tbf to the truck driver this is how I feel about Sabrina Carpenter as well

1

u/Levyathan0 May 06 '26

The sad joke will be that you'll reincarnate on a version of Earth where X event happended differently. So its earth but (maybe) worse ?

u/unripe_mangosteen May 09 '26

Or to slip on pee pee in the costco and get a settlement

u/Affectionate-Ad832 May 08 '26

Who is this character and why does he look like Laine Stanley, which make this.... peculiar?

u/BodybuilderMany6942 May 09 '26

Kaz Miller, of the Metal Gear Solid francise.
This scene specifically is from the 5th game, "Phantom Pain"

u/Luck_TR May 06 '26

I had a buddy get ran over by a CTA bus sitting at a red light on his motorcycle and the city didnā€™t give his widow or two children shit so even that option is off the table.

u/Bicwidus May 06 '26

All I got hit with was little chunks of grandma (i never checked the box)

u/lateformyfuneral May 06 '26

jumping out in front of cars leaving the Met Gala, hoping one of them was Jeff Bezos

u/VibraniumRhino May 06 '26

Or likeā€¦ working ourselves to death.

u/Matilda-17 May 06 '26

One of my kidsā€™ friends was hit by a truck some years back, and now has a trust fund waiting for him. I guess itā€™s not a huge trust though, because the other day my son comes up with friend in tow and says, ā€œmom. Explain to Jay why tryin to get hit by another truck is NOT A FINANCIAL PLAN and he needs to go to college or get a job or whatever!ā€
