    Holy shit is right. Christ on a carousel. I knew it was a lot of money, but I kind of wish I didn’t know what it looked like. How incredibly disturbing.

    the city i live in has a similar warehouse full of pallets, but stacked tall with packages of cheesepuffs, not greenbacks; they are replenished every four days when they sell out…
    maybe if folks in southern oregon saved their Cheetos budgets for one week, we could bail out our nation…
    but then three forklift drivers would be unemployed: ooooh the cruelty!
