Drink Or Die

A London based British Man just invented a small water bottle/filtration system that can filter out among other things fecal matter (poo) and viruses found in dirty water. He says that he hopes it can be used in disasters to help the people affected get quick & easy access to clean drinking water. Sounds awesome except that it costs ~$380.00. Great for this guy, bad for the refugees. You think our dear POTUS would have shelled out the $380/each for millions of bottles considering there are still people affected from that tragedy that have yet not received any financial aid from the Government? If he had, I am sure it would have been a huge disaster where he would have allotted 1 bottle for a family or something. You would probably need to prove you were actually in a family with birth certificates or something, all of which would have washed away in the flood. I know I am making this up but doesn't it read like something "ripped from the headlines?"

In other news Russians have just tested the world's most deadly non-nuclear weapon which works by creating a vacuum in the area of the blast and sucking the atmosphere right into the blast area. Effectively sucking the air out of your lungs until you are dead. All of this without the fall out of a normal nuclear weapon because that could obviously roll back onto your area and kill the people you were trying to protect. Also it fills the area with radiation stopping you from doing any recon or recovery. Awesome, A for caring. Just in case you were wondering, this is known as the "Dad of All Bombs", we in the US are much less safe because we only have the "Mother of All Bombs", weighing in at a mere 21,000 lbs.
