16 February 2023 - cheap balloons

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Let's see, cost per shootdown... I get around 340,000 cheap balloons to bankrupt the Air Force. Time to build a factory!

clue:

Far fewer than 340,000 would do it. Allowing occasional misses, that many missiles would exhaust the entire budget, if it were spent on nothing else.

give me a clue so sweet and true
