Do you guys have public access to state/provincial budget?

 

In Jakarta's recent scandal those who peeked at the proposed provincial budget for 2020 found out super ridiculous expense that include 5 million USD for glue, 14 million USD for paper, 2.2 million USD for eraser and 28 million USD for printer ink.

 

:hairpull:

 

And now the governor is dumbfounded...

To be fair, decent printer ink is freaking expensive.

The problem is, it is five times from last year

 

Everything is five to ten times more from last year. The most expensive eraser you can buy costs just a little over USD 1, and assuming every single civil servant (total 65k) got ten eraser each, it doesn't even reach 1 million USD :wacko:

I’ve never felt more patriotic about my state: https://apple.news/AS7NPESFkTUGrBmRJMuOSdg

 

That’s not true exactly, but I love my state more than any other (maybe Nevada or Utah could beat it, but that’s it)

But this is pro wrestling instead of sports. Theater, like this is, has always been political in one way or another :p

      With the previous version, I was able to copy/paste it into Excel, then filter the data by day...but this version isn't as easily copy/pastable.  Perhaps feeding it through AI to convert it to Excel might do the trick, then can filter it.

      Is there a website with a day-by-day schedule out anywhere? Hard to follow using the PDF.

      Most up-to-date version, having gone through the V3.0 Schedule from the other day.   Enjoy!   I'm enjoying getting to visualize the flow of each sport, using the Composite tab, and of course, each day's tab will be beneficial as we plan how to watch (or visit!) each day.   Does anyone know of an extant list of the chronological order of medals that will be awarded?     la28scheddetailed.xlsx
