Missouri Gov. Mike Parson (R) said fixing the flaw could cost the state $50 million Talk about waste of resources.

I mean it wouldn’t be a weekend fix because it’ll have to involve an audit of all existing systems to identify where else similar tomfoolery occurred. But 50 million is a high estimate.
30 minutes removing a piece of output: $100 Knowing where sed output is generated: $49.9999M
