I thought, "1.4 billion pounds of cheese can't be a real number, right?" Turns out, it kinda is. 1.4 billion pounds (actually generally 1.45-1.5 billion) is the amount of cheese the USDA stores in cold storage warehouses across the US. And indeed, much of that seems to be in caves in Missouri. But any particular cave probably only stores a few million pounds, although getting specific numbers is rather difficult.

Okay, see, if this were most of what the government did; I'd happily pay taxes.

I'd pay extra and ask how I could help. I'd be painting american flags on shit, instead of saying 'smash the state'.
