The price of copper is $4.44 per pound. Lady liberty is composed of 176,000 lbs of copper. Melting her down would be worth $781,440 which is less than it would cost to dismantle and melt her down. Basically she’s not worth the trouble.
Comment on I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave?

I don’t suppose you’d be up for a political assassination or two…?
Maybe go visit the Statue Of Liberty, before it gets melted down.

It’s not a cost issue, she’s a DEI hire.

Even without that, she’s a woman, and the Christian Taliban in charge don’t think they should exist outside the home.

You tell that to a tweaker with a van.

Take a picture of “The New Colossus” in particular. I doubt people in the future will believe it was really there.
