They only got less than 4 600 USD? That's 3.2k in €. I know everything there is cheaper, but that's still pretty ridiculously low.

This cat belongs to a real good friend of mine.... if any of ya'll can help with her vet bills that would be awesome. If you can't well... that's alright too. Any emotional support I can send her way would be great too.

Re: In today's news...
Basically using a fake alien invasion as just one scenario to get the populace to buy war bonds and such to help the economy. I believe even wealthy citizens bought into them during WWII. I wouldn't toss the idea aside so quickly just because of the subject matter that's partially a joke and the speaker even admitted to borrowing from a Twilight Zone episode where a false alien invasion was used to bring about world peace.
It's not as dumb an idea as it appears.

Re: In today's news...
Might I point you all to the movie "Wag The Dog." The situations are different, but the concept is the same. Conceal a big problem behind a seemingly bigger, albeit fake, problem. You could even go as far as calling it a straw man fallacy. You'd just be taking it one step further than the normal rhetorical sense. It's not a perfect fit, but you can still make an argument that it's a lot easier to justify spending against something far-fetched than it would be to tackle the problem directly.

Re: In today's news...
Graphic novel and movie are fairly the same in the endings. Just the movie used Dr. Manhatten's powers to make what essentially was a massive nuclear explosion in New York... while the comic had a massive alien octopus teleported to New York that wrecked devastation.
But yes, similar thread of logic.

Wait, people all the way in Toronto felt the quake? I'm sorry, but I didn't really feel anything.
