The answer sort of defies Bettridge’s Law in that it is in the “not even wrong” category of stupid shit.

He was talking about a different Gaza. And Hamas isn’t there.

You know what is there? AIDS and other STDs.

    Even given that, I love this statistic:

    ““USAID procures condoms for around $0.05 apiece,” he wrote on Wednesday on X. “$50m would be ONE BILLION condoms. What’s going on here is NOT a billion condoms for Gaza. What’s going on is that the bros at DOGE apparently can’t read govt spreadsheets.””

    They are not sending a billion condoms ANYWHERE.

      Are you sure? A billion condoms sounds like the right amount. If you only use one condom per day and have a population of 1 million people adult men, that’s only 1000 days worth of condoms.

      So we’d need more than a billion per year.

        Even if they were, shouldn’t they be overjoyed at the prospect of “less terrorists”? You can’t beat 0.05 a pop for that goal in any possible way - a bullet is more expensive.
