This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Mildly interesting.

I paid twice that in taxes here in the USA and I still don't have proper health insurance. If I got sick, I would be destitute.

This would be neat to see for the US

Health wouldn't be on there at all because fuck em

Defense would be spelled correctly and be so large that it would need to be on its own section, because the chart scale would distort things so badly that everything else would look like a sliver above zero

Education would be smaller than your immigration

Welfare, depending on the administration, would likely be some derogatory categorization for each group just to piss off their base

"other" would be the best biggest thing after Defense and provide no details, because it would be corporate subsidies and that would look bad
