Upkeep might be expensive, but 22 billion is probably lower bound estimation, highly likely to 5x that at least

So, we'll need to kill fewer brown children to pay for it?

This is Switzerland you're talking about, they make money when people get killed

Understood, the world needs to kill more brown people, so we can afford rare particles . ***not my opinion

That would be too hard, but we can just try and save some money on useless things and if people don't accept cutting benefits just raise the interest rates, all of them are underwater anyway

Man, that's just not in the budget. How am I supposed to scratch my need-to-kill-brown-kids itch without the taxpayer money we specifically set aside for this purpose?

What kind of absurd ideas are you gonna come up with next? No more instigating strife in the middle east? Pah! Not on my watch!

Maybe the government should spend less on avocado toast.
