If anyone's curious he's talking in terms of 9/11s per capita. Americans will use anything but metric.

Are those constant 9/11s though? Based on COVID policy I'm estimating that one human life in 2001 is worth several dozen in 2023
Turns out the 2020 economy is worth more than a daily number of 9/11 deaths.
Yeah, gotta account for inflation.
How much is that in bus lenghts?
By that math Israel has killed 4.125 million Gazans
Actually it’s roughly half of one 9/11, by the numbers.
By the numbers in Palestine, though, these estimates get a bit closer
They justified these headlines by comparing it as a proportion of population, because we all know that murder is graded based on general statistics instead of real lives. For example, The Vietnam War was America committing over 12,000 9/11's...
Also, inflation.
Seems kind of low, honestly.
I assume the Cambodian bombing campaign wasn't included?
More like 800 9/11s (from both sides) if its not per capita.
And then Israel did like 6 morbillion 9/11s in response
New imperial unit dropped
Inflation isn't even halting before 9/11 anymore. THIS is Biden's America!
How many football fields is a 9/11?
3 9/11s walk into a bar
We don't like your kind round here
plane water please
Does anyone have a solid understanding of calculus and access to the Scales of Anubis? I need to compute a Fractional 9/11s per Mooch ratio
That's right, ninety one thousand one hundred
That sounds like something Trump might have said. A double 911, it was a 1822
No fucking way he'd know that 2 times 911 is 1822
if it was that bad then why does nobody call out netanyahu for funding hamas for years in order to destroy the pro peace left in gaza?
Like, shitloads of people ARE calling him out for that. 75% of Israelis want him to resign. Yet here we are.

I read the new daily and this is the first I've heard of this. I thought the country was firmly behind Bibi. I will say that America media hasnt really been as forthright as they should be on this subject.
The corporate media misrepresented something? I'm shocked.
oh i know i meant the politicians defending him and doubling the amount of 9/11s each day :)
Mods, can we kill this guy?
It is concerning when a IRL political figure uses a term that was a joke in a marrionette movie (Team America World Police).
So 9/11 bad but holocaust ok? What a piece of shit to keep funding the genocide
Do you seriously think that what's going on in Palestine is equivalent to the literal fucking holocaust?
The one where the entire Jewish population of a major city was massacred in a single day, with industrialized extermination camps, that killed ~2/3rds of all European Jews?
Obviously not but if biden can make stupid comparisons so can I. No one here actually thinks that so calm down.
How many 9/11's was the holocaust?
Also: Can we come up with a name better than "9/11?"
I guess "world trade center attack" or "wtc attack"?
Now I use, "9/11 times 1000!"
