Should work.

Of course, marg. It works here in the USA.

And remember to drop some generators so they can use the new toys.

It might be cheaper than bombs, too.

I wana be a surgent….

oops. someone miscalculated the lack of access to electricity for the tent-dwelling insurgents

be cheaper than a bomb

Some people already covered it, most people would not be insurgents or rioting or anything to begin wtih if they had modern luxeries, such as electricity. Best way to keep a population in line is to give them stuff. If they have nothing better to do that is when you have to worry. You take away jobs, you take away modern luxuries or prevent someone from getting them, you just created or helped create a terrorist or insurgent.

That won’t work. It’ll just make them more revolting.

Carpet bombing with porn and Doritos should do the trick.

And nobody dies, either.

Can’t say it saves lives, though. :P

They may have to use a bicycle to generate the power though.

This is one of the best ones he’s ever come up with!
