It doesn't matter what percentage of a budget is what. If a government is corrupt to the point of absurdity, the spending is largely ineffective.

The tax dollars were captured and the value of what theyre being used for is siphoned by middlemen (insurance in health care, middlemen inflating prices in the military) and as a result the prices in both examples are no longer attached to reality.

T9 took significantly longer to type with. I rocked a flip phone and enjoyed how engaging t9 was and the added time cost acted as a buffer so that I was less likely to use the device for frivolous stuff.

Maybe look into seeing if everyone else would be ok with that as an exit strategy? It's being tried in a few places and there's a firm(s?) that guide ownership who wants to sell to the employees.

Very context dependant, I'd imagine

Incoming graduates saw an entire generation go to college at the highest rates ever just to find a job market that left a record number of them with debt still on their name more than a decade later.

What were once institutions devoted to academia, have become corporate training camps ran by a board that runs the institution with a corporate mentality, and they enrich themselves commesurately.

I'll keep it going:

Don't forget about the time Initech had it's credit union hacked with a virus that was supposed to only take a negligible percentage of each transaction but the programmer figured he must have "put the decimal in the wrong place or something."

The group got away under pretty mysterious circumstances...

Coffee. The Internet told me it's going to get insanely expensive so I like to savor it while I can.

It's like a reverse leopard, where it tries to gaslight you about how it told you it was going to eat your face

If you think corruption is a one-party issue, I'd like some of the drugs you're taking
