11. I heard that: 500 MILLION DOLLARS a day? I can't conceive of it.

I mean,...no food, no water, no security has arrived.

:wtf:

Maybe, a substantial portion of that is spent without the addition of a national state of emergency. Maybe, operating costs are hundreds of millions of dollars.

:shrug:

6. How much food is one million lbs
a million ton of food = 2 billion lbs. That's 50,000 trucks at 40,000 lbs each. Since he used the plural, I can only guess there are 50,000 to 100,000 trucks enroute. .
