@momo@social.linux.pizza they should do this to Government ministers to explain why they shouldn't throw taxpayers money at this hustler. Most of them should get it....most of them.

@Lazarou@mastodon.social @momo@social.linux.pizza Here in the US, we used to have an "Office of Technology Assesment" which could produce explainers like that for Congress. It apparently had a tiny budget and yet was very useful. It was dismantled in 1995 by the newly-dominant GOP who, according to Science magazine, saw it as "duplicative, wasteful, and biased against their party." The final part of that, to my mind, has always been the tell.
