I somehow don’t think we’ll find a site that breaks down every purchase the government has made, let alone one that specifically detects and highlights corruption.
So I guess the official budgets are the best I can do to helpfully answer the question. Sorry.
Just did a quick search, “interactive chart of us state and federal budgets”.
Found this government site for federal budgets: https://www.cbo.gov/interactives
For instance, here’s a page with charts for the 2023 federal budget: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/59727
I would hope similar sites exist for most, if not all, of the states.
Imagine how hard it would be to resist wording things in the Imperative just… Accidentally.
You get frustrated, yell “Shut up!” at someone in passing, and that person is now mute unless you realize your mistake and undo it.
To be fair, this comic isn’t just about abortion. It could also apply to things like “modesty” laws in places like Iran.
It doesn’t matter what the ice cream represents. If the argument for a law is wholly religious in nature, then it is unjust.
Might subcategorize, like “Frankensteinian irony.”
Confidence? Not so much. But it’s less a fear of rejection, and more a fear of upsetting someone.
In short, my thought process goes like this:
I basically limit myself to online dating, but as we all know, that’s a shit show unless you’re in the top 10% on the scale of attractiveness. And so I’ve been single 10+ years.
Currently somewhere around 10 years single.
I struggle with social cues, anxiety, etc.
It’s lonely.
Golly! Three whole data points?! Now we are cooking with gas!

You picked two random days, compared their active user counts, and concluded that it must indicate a continuous trend.
Yesterday, it was 60°F out. Today it’s 30°F out. Clearly, by next week, everyone in my town will be dead by freezing.
Experts struggle with statistics. Laymen, doubly so.
EDIT:
Also, that’s only a difference of 7%, so it’s not even that drastic.
EDIT2:
Also also, what does any of this have to do with your post being removed? What was the post? Did the mod/admin give you a reason for removal?
Bill Gates is a higher class of billionaire.
And I’m sure there were some relatively nice nazis in WWII Germany. Still nazis.
I’d love to tax the kleptocrat class and pay to fix some of the country’s problems, but I’m worried a woman and her doctor might do medicine deemed heresy by my twisted interpretation of a book of fables I never actually read (and may not even believe). Also the gays and brown people scare me, and somehow the only way I can save myself from them is to give Elon Musk ownership of San Francisco.
Something tells me Bill is saying that publicly, then discreetly paying lobbyists to oppose such moves.
Karma is just debt for morality.
The Brood War remaster was actually pretty good, too. It was the last Blizzard product I bought.
I’ve seen “tankie” in leftist discussions on multiple sites for ages before I joined Lemmy.
Just because its a real word with a wiki page doesn’t make it any less annoying […]
And just because you first encountered a word in some place doesn’t mean that word originated in that place.
I’m with the above commenter. I’ve worked at many companies of various sizes, from small local shops up to international corporations, including at least one contractor for the US military.
Every one of them had rules and policies and training on security, to varying degrees. But at every one of them, I’d find some vulnerability, or instance where someone was neglecting security. Each time, I’d bring it to the attention of someone in management. Each time (with one company as exception), those warnings would be “heard” and “passed up the chain”, and then nothing would happen. Only one company in 20 years of work actually fixed a security issue I found. And no company I’ve ever worked for was leak proof.
In my experience, until it threatens to cost a company much more money in losses than it would cost to fix the problem, but said problem will not get fixed. That’s profit motive. And often it seems they’d rather roll the dice until a loss occurs, and then (maybe) fix the issue.
I used to believe this, but recent incidents have exposed systemic issues in engineering and QA at at least one major US aerospace manufacturer.
Do you have any examples of problems currently lacking a (plausible) software solution?
And the few who have turned on him now prefer the guy who literally had a worm eat part of his brain.
This reality must be satire.
