We had quite a number of high profile legal cases here where people got caught misappropriating Covid funds. I wonder how many people went to jail after all was said and done. It's probably more than we realize. Here at the schools we had a some decent money come in that allowed us to do projects that we probably wouldn't have been able to do otherwise. The money still had to come from somewhere, so who knows what else suffered because of it.
I would assume that over 50% of all globally was misused in some way. It really was a money grab at the expense of taxpayers. It is not that all that was done was bad, but if you imagine at the scale of the US, it likely was pretty significant.
Yeah, you are probably right!
