Nope. Those funds need to be used or they get sent to the next public agency, at least that's how it goes down in some public works. The funds should have gone to training for whoever thought this was a good idea.

As an American, would I be correct in saying this is like conservatives wasting tax payer money on a statue and ceremony to memorialize the contributions of a late senator from the Jim Crow era south, when all they were originally asking for was a fountain or bench?

Of course they do. Wasting money is obe of the few things that they're good at

The U2 incident nearly started WW3, so they decided to temper that a bit. Any lower level incursion does get an intercept, though usually along the lines of "yes we see you". We played a lot of cat and mouse games with the Soviets over the Bering Sea. :)

And I'm sure there were no signs or people saying that they couldn't do that.

The image shown matches a scientific device quite well, especially the balloon itself is typical US Meteorological Service. The path it's taken has me thinking it may have originated in Alaska, where the USMS has a major facility. Could also be Canadian, but I'm not familiar with their programs.

There was much more to KAL007 than just a spy plane would have been.

I was there about 40 years (fuck) ago when it was still ok to go to the top. Going up was easy. Coming down? Not so much. Scooted down on my ass one step at a time. I think that pyramid is the source of my fear of heights.

I think that's done by the nurses' aides. This was a licensed practical nurse charged with ability to formally declare someone dead.

I’m not saying it’s impossible but I think it’s pretty hard to find a lot of people that are passionate about changing adult diapers and regularly finding dead clients

A lot start for helping people. After all the abuse of patients, and their relatives, it becomes a job like any other.
Some still keep that spark of wanting to help people. Same with teachers and other professions.
For the money you spend on getting the schooling, you could easily get one of the multiple easier business degrees and get a corporate job that pays a lot better...
They can still switch to an easy office job and they do, cause the hospital/retirement home/whatever want to reduce costs and time at the patients side. Meaning nurses leave, making it more stressful for those who stay.
