I think you're reasoning about this backwards. They don't worry about setting harder spending limits because the revenue continues to increase. If the revenue cut back, you call it "naive" to suppose that they could pu

It doesn't even make sense with the data being presented. > After we burn through our reserves, it seems likely that the next step for the WMF will be going into debt to support continued runaway spending Um, the graph shows that

Every time I've tried one of these non-JS versions, it gives me no evidence that it's working or progressing and just keeps setting up new comparisons for me to copy and paste the code. So I get tired of doing that and stop using
