Current [Armed America] Cap: $5,000.00
$5,000 worth of Q3 food (6 Health/use): $5,000.00 / $2.92 per food = 1,712 Q3 foods (current market price as of this post)

[Note: Only food is being considered (not weapons) as I am targeting this as a new player program and it isn't economically efficient to provide new players with weapons.]

The amount of grain a General Manager owning a Grain Company with Guru* and two (2) friends, Citizenship and Resource Bonus can create in a day: 328
The amount of Q3 food a General Manager owning a Q3 Food company can produce using the above grain from two (2) Grain Companies: 36
Food allocated for Armed America / Food produced from one (1) Q3 Food Company: 1,712 / 36 = 47.5

The number of Players who would need to volunteer to manage either one of two (2) Grain Companies or one (1) Q3 Food Company for the sole purpose of supplying Armed America with foo😛 47.5 * 3 = 142.5
The approximate cost through company creation, or purchasing existing companies, of two (2) Grain Companies and one (1) Q3 Food Company: 130 Gold
Total cost in Gol😛 6,175 Gold

So, are there 143 people who believe in Armed America to the extent that they are willing to sacrifice 10 Health/day to see this program voluntarily funded?

Are there 6,175 people who are willing to donate 1 Gold each to see this program voluntarily funded?

My belief is that not everything needs to be funded through taxpayer dollars. If a program is considered of value by enough people then those people have the ability to create such a program through voluntary means. Think RL American Red Cross, United Way, Salvation Army, etc.

As always, CONSTRUCTIVE feedback is appreciated.
