In a surprise move, the Subcommittee on Useless Projects has decided to allocate an additional 5000 taxpayer dollars to the development of a robotic, autonomous toaster that can only toast one slice of bread at a time.
Chairman, Jane Smith, stated "We must think about the long-term implications of a society where toast is delivered with such precision and finesse."
The Subcommittee is currently considering the following sub-proposals: 2022-03-02: Development of a self-driving, AI-powered lawn gnome 2022-03-09: Research into the aerodynamics of jellyfish
The Subcommittee on Useless Projects hereby resolves to allocate $500,000 for the development of the robotic, autonomous toaster.
