This sounds like POTUS is the new Roman Emperor of our times and he / she can sell the republic or interests of its subjects to anyone as he wishes, keeping all the benefits generated for his personal fortune and distributing all the mis-fortune / longer term effects to the wider population base... Guess what there is a name for this game, "Privatize the profits and socialize the losses".

This is like when do you believe what you are seeing is real or not. Its an imitation of a terminal and therefore we know its not real, but when does that stop being an imitation and become reality.. Or what we consider to be real is just a imitation..

I guess that tells you how expensive travelling by trains is then, if in 6 months only 500k unique faces were captured or identified. That is roughly 3k per day or 120-150 every hour or 2-3 every minute across multiple stations. Unfortunately, this exercise would be labelled as too expensive to be scaled, the irony. Surely, the preference for the department is buying rather than building their own cost effective solutions inhouse which would be scalable rather than limited. Look at France and Netherlands, their government departments are already working on reducing reliance on microsoft products. This has to come from the very top, rather than being consumers these departments with their budgets should become tech producers.

How will the capitalists survive then, they would go extinct as a species. Healthcare and defense are the two prominent sectors where the options available are kept artificially scarce / high in demand (wars), thereby reaping money unfairly from both taxpayers and individuals.

Unfortunately, the priority is increasing efficiency and ROI, rather than sustainability. This leads to centralization and operations at a scale which are not sustainable, without external input or causing damage to existing nature. De-centralization and sustainable practices are the only way forward, as it has been for centuries before us on this earth. Maybe space is the place for these kinds of centralised and intensive practices, like being planned for data centers.

Gave it a try and got 78 correct out of 100, so it extrapolated it to me knowing about 55k+ words and saying most native speakers only get 15k - 35k...Interesting

If you are on a framework, that gives prospective public sector buyers assurance that certain basic checks/ due-dilligence about your business has already been done. So even if you have not made a sale to a public sector entity in recent times but are on a framework then makes sense to keep your details up-to-date...
