That's the point. The whole movie is pointing out the absurd importance our society and toxic members of it mad about perceived power are willing to place upon things that they are never good at anyhow.
They lack the self awareness and style to have any chance because they are measuring by standards established by other shortsighed narcissists.

Even online accounts with no sensitive data stored these days heavily prefer multifactor authentication and have password standards.

actual banks though... "four digits good, we'll use the same digits for online login"(my bank does for example, secure! They do then sms authenticate adding new payees online, but that's hardly a complete solution)

"..should be treated as a single entity or a plural." .. if it makes it any easier it'll probably be historical itself any minute now. Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it, while those who would apparently tear up documents meant to be sent to that archive by legal requirement and flush them down the toilet* are apparently voted back in.
* also likely explains why he kept complaining about the toilets not flushing well. Can't be his regularity, as he asures people he is in amazing health.

The interplay between prescriptive and descriptive is one that I grapple with at times, internally. Figuratively at least. Mostly I literally say "ahh let them have their cake." ... well, perhaps I figuratively say that also?

I got a FB memory today reminding me that years ago I discovered -with horror- this. Point 1. About a published book and the author commenting about people having gotten "their's"Still uncorrected (and the page being in existence at all is a marvel) 13 years later.https://www.actsofgord.com/

(and yes, I know I used en dashes instead of em ones there. Just have trouble bringing myself to use Em's dashes without credit, and then get lost in referencing standards. Also the keyboard has the en dash on a key :)

.. it seems a bit dystopian to me that "someone also poor had to provide charity so thousands of kids could eat a single hotdog once a year" is a "heartwarming Christmas story" as they call it there.
Oh, and he died in poverty, ill and homeless. And people donated so he was at least buried. But didn't continue making sure the kids ate each Christmas (or New Year as it was later moved to). The tradition died ("endeded") with his death
Ahh 'Merica.

I'm an Aussie. We have potato chips (aka crisps or whatever the USA calls Frito/Lays type sliced potato in a foil bag) branded with advertising for s2 of Squid Game also. I took some pics when I saw at a servo (petrol/gas/service station). Ahh commercialism. And people who never got to experience things like Lord of The Flies or Battle Royale but need a more mainstream introduction.. via snack foods perhaps? https://imgur.com/a/BYglUsQ

(and yes, I've read it ALL, even the rare stuff. Read his first book if you wanna see what he tried to write careful circles around admitting the rest of the time (while he was also working on developing fetishes for redhead, poly and incest casual sex). For Us The Living. Nutter.

Anybody who thinks Heinlein was good at strong female characters should look at their own views. He wrote women that were either indistinguishable from men in their supposed "strong" elements.. or had to "make up for" misogynistic stereotype features by.. acting like his idea of men (rugged indivualist verging on predatory libertarians) when it "mattered."
