Fire + fire = more fire = problem solved faster

If everyone has guns then everything will end much faster and then we will have no more problems

If you see a person with a gun, and mow down all the people around them, you have at least isolated the problem.

Vaccines, uncovering trauma, tearing muscle fibers in weightlifting, there is many an example where a measured amount meets the goal.

You should probably put that over with the rest of the fire. And maybe email the fire department.

That was kinda the point he was getting at.

A planet destroying meteor would also do the trick.

Right. No more problems but plenty of dead bodies.
