8 billion BY 2028 or by the end of 2028? The devil is in the details!
Giving him through 2028, it would take 10 million deaths a day.
I'm not confident.

I dunno. It's like Trump trying to fix healthcare, or TACO Tuesday, or those rebate checks….but, they got a plan!

It's a stupid plan. We should privatize this initiative – why waste taxpayer dollars on yet another big government program

I hope the people of the future will analyse this in school and understand that contemporary caricatures were not overreacting as they themselves live in a +5°C world watching this
