Since we've recently learned that the value of a lost life is inversely proportional to the population of the country, we need a way to concisely and conveniently discuss tragedies and their relative values. Using 9/11 as the defining constant, we define one (1) Bush as the death of 3000/285,000,000 ≈ 0.00105% of a nation's population. Perhaps easier to remember, 1 kB (kiloBush) is approximately equal to the death of 1% of the population.
Some examples for reference:
- 9/11 is 1 Bush (of course)
- total annihilation of a countries population is 100 kiloBushes (the largest value possible under relativistic models)
- 1 man in Vatican City choking to death on a hotdog is approx. 124 Bushes.
These changes will be voted on in the 2024 General Conference on Weights and Measures and are expected to pass unanimously.
Okay, and 1 Rona is defined as 1 Bush/day
We can think of these units in similar ways to voltage and amperes (amps). Whereas Bushes are a measure of the dead like a volt measures energy, and Ronas are the rate or "flow" of Bushes, much as amps measure voltage current. The multiplication of these two values calculate the "economic externality", of which the electronic equivalent is known as wattage.
We got Israel putting out a lot of economic externalities rn.
Bushes and Ronas are more like joules and watts, amps aren't a rate of volts they're a rate of coulombs.
