Woohoo! A well earned meal

Here's an excellent list of things to prepare for in case of sudden passing. A lot of it focuses on tech, but finance has a good portion.
I've been dreading filling it out myself due to the security risk it can represent....
That's cool! I'm willing to bet that's outside of the norm for most folks. If y'all want to prove me wrong I'll happily provide a venmo ;)
Some nuance - nobody is freely giving housed folks money to buy drugs and alcohol either.
Ayyy! Glad we figured out that mystery! Hope you have a good day!
Any chance the candy was mexican? Cuz that opens up a whole world of possibilities. Limon 7 packets, pico packets, not to mention a whole suite of Lucas powders.
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!

Additionally, the average brain is about 1300 grams. 0.5% of 1300 is 6.5 grams, and plastic credit cards weigh roughly 5 grams.
0.5% is really hard for me to visualize. A credit card in everyone's brain is unfortunately easy.....
Fun fact, the average adult brain also has a credit cards worth of plastic inside. So that bacon has some company!
I’ve made NO false assumptions
Article states:
It is one of the largest crisis response programs in the country, with 130 employees.
Your assumption: they have always had 130 employees.
Reality: In FY 21, they had funding for 18 people, in FY 22 they had the funding for 61 people.
That sure does seem like an assumption that turned out to be false.
So when I said “even if you 8x”… I didn’t account that there could be additional workload?
That's a good point - how did you come up with that number? Also, how did you come up with an acceptable number of diverted calls? Did you compare the value to those of the programs peers?
Taking even your infographic where they claim that they've done 3296 calls .
Okay, let's make sure our homework is done again. How many people do you know we're employed at this time? Should your analysis be qualified as a worst case value? How many folks do you think should be on call?
Moving goalposts
Lmao, it can say a lot about your approach if real world corrections to the initial values are considered moving goalposts. If your focus is on being "right" in the context of the article regardless of being wrong in the context of real life, I can see that being upsetting.
Here's the thing. You're the one asserting that it's inefficient, so it's really up to you to make sure your evidence and reasoning is right.
You keep asking for analysis from me, but I don't need to provide my own analysis to point out the false assumptions you've made in yours, resulting in potentially misleading analysis. The correct action to take is to either correct the assumptions, or state that those are assumptions you are making in your analysis.
The fundamental thread behind your analysis is that 130 employees don't divert enough calls to justify their existence, when in reality you didn't realize that those calls aren't the sole responsibility the group has. So how much water does the analysis even hold?
I'm not saying you're a bad person. I'm saying you're looking to "offer a more realistic view of what this actually is" before having a full understanding of what it actually is. The acs page linked to the article has a transparency page with regular reports like the one I shared. I'd consider those to be good primary resources. Go ham!
Found something to live for lmao
