Have you not been paying attention to the world lately? Surplus is a word we might not use again this decade.

Well you said "surplus" so I just assumed you ran one of those Army-Navy stores. ;)

Have you not been paying attention to the world lately? We live in Massachusetts… Even if there was a pool of $25 billion to fix the roads with the state wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation to mismanage every dime of it. The roads would be left in the same condition but somehow there would be a group of contractors with friends on Beacon Hill that, after “competitive bidding processes” got $$PAID$$

We're wicked sma'ht in MA so one of us is going to point out meaningless spelling /typo mistakes. That is the way. That and it's Reddit. By the way, I did grant you an English degree. You should see it in the mail next week.
