"sounds like a waste of money"

Don't forget we are talking about EU governments here. This is a feature, not a bug.

Sigh. I know that dunking on the EU is increasingly a HN meme because most of you lot work for companies that feel threatened by governments with teeth, but “governments waste money!!!” in as much as it is an accurate stereotype is not localised to the EU by any means.

What does waste money even mean in these co text? That money will go right back into The economy (food, rent, entertainment, taxes, etc)
