The special unicode page I am on is not being on the brainwashing code your government is using right now and perfecting on some of you. LOL

You are getting fooled again.

FFS ... this is about font ... do you always have to interject 'Trump' into everything?
The emotional investment is astounding.

I am questioning the amount of money spent on yet another frivolous endeavour to waste taxpayer dollars by your government, keep up.

Another frivolous waste of taxpayer money for name changes.

"The Trump Administration's push to rename the Department of Defense (DOD) is a symbolic gesture that the Pentagon's head, Pete Hegseth, suggests "restores a clarity of purpose tied to winning wars," via Military.com. So far, the most notable effects of this change have taken the form of a few visible plaques, and the department's website and social media accounts being rebranded to display the name it hasn't had since 1947. The choice falls in nicely with the administration's efforts to revert to older practices, as the nation's military muscle was originally organized under the name "Department of War." Yet, in an administration focused on cutting costs and targeting waste, it's important to note that this simple name change could cost taxpayers up to an estimated $2 billion, according to NBC News. That might sound outrageous, but the financial tally to rechristen just nine Air Force and Army bases previously sporting Confederate officers' names came out to $62 million."

The cost to rename the Department of Defense will shock you

No.  It's more than that.   
We 'keep up' with what you are doing on every thread just fine.  


Anyways, I've cast my vote.
Yet another thread being screwed up.
I'm done.   /out

Yes, there is more to it. It has to do with seeing how the government wastes taxpayer money and prioritizes nonsense in lieu of helping ordinary Americans live better and more affordable lives. Move on if you don't want to engage with in-depth intellectual discussion.

News flash!

"Save $400m by switching fonts': Unfortunately it won't work for the US government - or for you

Proposal by teenager caught the media's imagination, but unfortunately the calculations just don't add up""In addition, although Garamond (Mirchandani’s font of choice) is certainly a slimmer font than Times New Roman, it’s also just physically smaller, with typography expert Thomas Phinney pointing out that you’d have to use the font in a larger size to keep the legibility the same, negating the saving arising from the font’s smaller ‘x size’ (the height of lowercase letters)."

"So unfortunately it seems that switching fonts isn't the quick-fix that Mirchandani (and the media) have promised, but this doesn't mean that savings can't be made. The Atlantic notes that the best way to cut down on government printing budgets (and a change that is already being made) is by simply dropping the ink altogether by distributing more documents online."

It's all fine and dandy until someone takes a really hard and in-depth investigative look at it.

You're missing the superscript, quint. It's not about money (we can always print more of that), it's about the pernicious threat of Queer Typography:

What is queer typography?

The design of that webpage alone should convince you of the dire nature of this threat.

And, it is a proven fact that Times New Roman is significantly less homosexual than Calibri. At any font weight.

"To restore decorum and professionalism to the Department’s written work products and abolish yet another wasteful DEIA program, the Department is returning to Times New Roman as its standard typeface," the cable said.

LOL And throw any amount of money at it to make it go away?

Calibri font looks pretty straight to me.
