serious answer: I ran some quick math (below the cut) and found out that this ant would impart about ten times the amount of energy as an impact by a 45kg Howitzer round, or one thousand times the energy yield of a typical handgrenade. Ordinarily I would expect something like an ant to disintegrate on impact at high speeds, but there is simply so much energy in that ant that it would have nowhere else to go but forward - even if it completely exploded on impact without penetrating, you would definitely die and definitely need a closed-casket funeral. If it simply went straight through without meaningful disintegration, carrying the majority of its energy away with it, with this being a hypersonic projectile (actually, it's a relativistic one) it still would definitely shred at least a grapefruit-sized hole in you just from cavitation damage. Given the ridiculous speed, it would also create a significant amount of heat and a concussive sonic shockwave as it did so, definitely killing you instantly and probably turning you into charred ground beef.
TLDR yes you would be super mega dead
oh but the ant so small I can take it
that's true I didn't think of that

I have a trade deficit with my car repair guy because I paid him 400$ to repair my bumper and he doesn't subscribe to my Patreon.
this seems like a misleading analogy because obviously in that situation trade can still be balanced indirectly through third parties, but right now global trade is not like that at all: China is running a trade surplus with the US of $300 billion a year, but they're also running a trade surplus with the EU of $300 billion a year, and their total trade surplus with the world is over a trillion dollars a year, it's not being balanced by a large deficit with some other country.
however this is a good critique of the US putting tariffs on Mexico and Canada, because while they may run trade surpluses with the US, they are still running trade deficits overall, making them sources of global demand rather than supply: putting tariffs on them would just make their trade deficits larger and worsen global imbalances.
now you don't need to care about making global trade balance, or the potential consequences of persistent imbalances, and of course you might find tariffs to be a terrible mechanism for encouraging balanced trade, but if you do want to balance global trade then that requires finding ways to discourage the persistent trade surpluses being run by China (and Korea, and Germany, and Norway) and not worsening the deficits being run by Canada or Mexico or Australia.
How would it change the analogy if he's "my car repair guy" in the sense that I have him handcuffed to the radiator.
if you're paying him so he's notionally accumulating profits but he's unable to spend them because he's chained to the radiator (I'm assuming the heater in your garage, not the radiator of your car) then that's actually reminiscent of the situation for foreign corporations that foolishly continued doing business with Nazi Germany in the lead up to WWII, where they could accumulate profits and deposit them in German banks but it was devilishly difficult to take any of those profits out of the country as capital flows were restricted because Hitler was planning a war and all.
basically your car repair guy needs to withdraw his labour and bargain for better conditions, or ideally topple your regime of slavery.

At one point in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, Bowser Jr. announces an extremely large coin reward for catching Mario and Luigi, which appears to be simply a random number to Western audiences.
However, this is actually intended to be a pun using goroawase, a type of Japanese phonetic matching, to sound like a sentence when spoken aloud. Different digits each have several ways they can be pronounced for the purposes of goroawase, but with a certain pronunciation, the number spells out "Bowser is the best".
