That is why you should set up a second checking account with your bank, specifically for this situation. Still need to remember to transfer funds between accounts (usually monthly).

How about Sortition ?
It's roughly the same as someone who wants to learn to be an electrician vs. someone who wants to earn a degree in EE.
Electricians can be trained. EEs either know their stuff or get sent packing. Too arrogant to be (re-)trained.
But now the government needs to eliminate these lowest-bidder-sacks-of-crap EEs who rubber stamp Facility Blueprints created by overseas Techs (illegal, yet still done).

This must be the sticking point.
Supply houses to the various trades (in America) charge each customer a different price, mostly based on annual purchases.
This is why updates should go through:
A) Sandbox testing

Updates can and do *make things worse*

This goes back to US v Shapiro, 1940. Can the government force people to keep records? Well It turns out that it doesn't have that authority, per the US Constitution. But, you're gonna do it anyways, because the New Deal requires it.
Complaining about modern day people following a very old (and very wrong) precedent is muddying the waters. So we know what needs to be done, but I don't have the millions of dollars it would take to overturn this bad precedent.
It's only a logical fallacy if every point on the chain of actions (ie the slope) isn't verified to contribute to the next point. In other words: it's only a logical fallacy if assumed.
Next we enter the stage where each point is argued as to whether it really contributes, but then we get "No True Scotsman" fallacies. So "Not a Slippery Slope" is a version of "No True Scotsman".
Thus "Slippery Slope is both a logical fallacy and not a logical fallacy.
It sums up each nations history
Russia and Britain play chess. (Open board, an early mistake can lose the late game, and it's all about the king.)
Can't speak for Russian history (yet), but Game of Thrones cribs most of its violent politics from British history.
China plays Go. (Open board, and there is no king, only area.)
For China: it is imperative that each dynasty is "linked in an unbroken lineage of moral and political authority back to ancient times." It doesn't matter what color the Go stone is, they're all "Chinese".
America plays poker. (All about bluffing, cards kept close, every round is a new game, and it doesn't matter how often you lose, but how big you win.)
Poker resembles how war *actually* works.
Let's organize this thing and take all the fun out of it.
