      That requires more energy than shooting him out of the solar system.
      I’m all for energy efficiency!
      Nice side effect: he has more time to contemplate the reason behind his long journey.

        Yeah, but on the off chance aliens pick him up and he’s their first contact, they’d probably destroy the planet.

          Maybe you’re right.
          But what about: we shoot him there and make him pay for it (preferably before doing the shot)!

        Alternatively, launch toward the sun, include a solar power tracker, and track and follow the trajectory for science/physics class work!

        Based on trumps speed and position today, calculate where his bloated corpse will be in 9 hours, the length of a workday, which is something he never personally experienced, but tried to make worse for the average person.

        Double whammy of learning about history and science!

            I mean I’m including the hour lunch there or it would be 8… pretty sure y’all aren’t working substantially less than that…

              Fair enough, that does change things. 7.5 is pretty standard, but I’ve generally been contracted for 7. Which is significantly less than 9.

                It would be, yeah, and a lot of people here do work 60+ hrs because our country fucking sucks, but that’s not at all the norm for most jobs. If anything, most places that can swing it try to keep you under the hour threshold to qualify as full time (30 hrs in a week or 130 hrs in a month) so they don’t have to offer you benefits like health insurance or vacation days… so most low-wage workers have multiple jobs and work more than 60 hrs, but still have to pay for their own health insurance or do without it.

                I’m not a big fan of mocking exploitation of the working class, regardless where they are from. You have it objectively better, act like it instead of punching down.
