There Is No Cure For Stupidity - $7 Million For Butt Scanners And Anal Printing, Just One Item In 2020 The 'Festivus Report'
- $54 Billion In Wasteful Spending Highlighted By Senator Rand Paul
By Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine
The picture says it all, but after spending hours speechless over the sheer stupidity and utter insanity of spending $6.9 million on the development of a "smart toilet" that scans a user's butt and identifies a person by their "analprint," I finally stopped shaking my head in astonishment and started work.
This "smart toilet" is only a symptom of all that is whacked in this world today as tens of millions here in America are suffering job loss, and food insecurity, due to governor mandated lockdowns closing businesses, many permanently, and yet, politicians are more than willing to spend nearly $7 million to develop a toilet that takes pictures and videos of your ass.
The website Verge was reporting about smart toilets and "analprints" back in early April 2020, and now by December 2020, we see grants provided to actually develop them as part of a health monitoring system.
Via CNS News:
For it to work, the "user would sit on the toilet, and the hardware’s three cameras would use 'biometric identifiers to securely associate the collected data with the user’s identity,' such as 'fingerprinting and a distinctive method of using anal creases … referred to here as analprint," states the report.
"That’s right!" it reads. "The toilet would use fingerprint technology and a photo of the user’s nether regions to identify the user, and the toilet’s in-bowl video camera would track various metrics, including the time between sitting and first bowel movement, and other metrics relevant to bowel health.
And I thought it was bad in 2012 when they spent half a million on why a monkey flings poo.
