Damn, $5400, that's how much human lives cost. But seriously, who is doing this for such a low sum?
A lot of ISS terrorism (and I think other organizations) it's presumed you will die and the check goes to your family. In certain parts of the world, that's a fair amount that could prop up a poor family.
There are lots of people with absolutely nothing. There are lots of people who live in places where this is a lot more money than it is where you or I live. There are lots of people who are desperate and want to take care of loved ones in both scenarios.
Also, there are shitheads who just don't care. I don't know which one this is.
In rubles that has to be a tidy sum.
Ikr? Would take at least $10k for me tbh
