We're gonna need more than 50m. How about the 3b we give to LAPD?
- Me: That can't possibly be right. There is no way the LAPD costs more to operate than the entire country of Madagascar.
  Also me: Well I'll be damned
  (It looks to me like 2b, not 3b, but that's still a fuck of a lot of money, and still more than Madagascar)
  (Edit: A fun side note to this is that it probably means that if the LAPD really wanted to, it would have the ability to win a war with Madagascar and take it over.)
  
  It was 3b until the George Floyd protests. Then we defunded them. Now they're trying to claw it back. They just got 500mill added to their budget last year.
