In the wake of those shootings, an industry has emerged to try to protect schools — and business is booming. According to the market research firm Omdia, the school security industry is now worth as much as $4 billion, and it's projected to keep growing.
i have an idea.
instead of going through all the trouble of inventing some terrible situation and an evil “solution” to the situation why dont we have some sort of government grifter program where grifters can apply for a free billion dollars from the government, sponsored by at least one senator, and the sponsor makes like $10 million off the deal.
That way we can be just as corrupt as we are today but leave the general population out of it.
This actually strikes me as a really innovative idea, but as it stands your government grifter program needs a blame-diffususion mechanism to be enacted and see actual usage. You don't need anything fancy, just fancy enough to satisfy government grifters.
