I’m pretty sure schools must already have lockdown alarms in Australia (and drills every few years), so it’s surprising that this isn’t already a thing in America, especially with its issues.
The IRS might need a bigger budget to make them morally pay. Prosecution is expensive.
I’m entirely in support, of course, so I say we should increase the IRS’s budget and do it. But I also get why the IRS doesn’t want to walk up to Congress right now, hat in hand, and say “We spent more money prosecuting them than we gained” or anything close to that, and give the GOP ammo for defunding them again.

Actual outlays for enforcement. Outlays for enforcement activities in 2023 were less than projected. Most of the expenditures from the enforcement account stem from labor costs, and through 2023, the IRS hired fewer revenue agents (the enforcement staff who handle complex audits) than it had planned. That shortfall suggests that the IRS has encountered greater difficulty in hiring auditors than it anticipated. CBO expects that the IRS will be able to use all the mandatory funding that it designated for hiring in later years, but because of the delays in hiring and training new auditors, revenue collections from enforcement activities are smaller in CBO’s February 2024 projections than they were in its previous projections.
What is it with Islamic terrorism and symbolic anniversaries? Is it part of a conscious effort to push memorial activities out of the news cycle? Or is it purely to spread terror?
Idk if anyone reading this outside the US has seen or read the Shawshank Redemption, but the most unrealistic thing about that story was the happy ending. Lotta terrible shit going on inside US prisons.
