There was a study or survey or something that showed people are leaving the office earlier than they did before the pandemic, the average being between 3 and 4 pm.
I'll do you one better: we should have return free filing: the government sends you a bill saying what they think you owe. If you agree, you send them a check. If you don't agree, you send in your paperwork.

I suspect there wasn't an error in math. My Occam's Razer here says that they had a conclusion in mind (i.e. the Education department spent trillions of dollars on a do nothing program), wanted to say it on CSPAN so that they could have the sound byte.
The correction isn't going to be aired on Fox or OAN.
I actually had the same reaction and so I looked into it. The threat is pretty low.
Worst case scenario is that you're working on something critical and your phone gets locked. You unlock it with PIN and move on. According to the docs, this can only be done a few times a day (iirc twice. I'm too lazy to look it up again. It's 2am and I should be sleeping 😅)
If it gets annoying, you could turn it off until the attacker moves on.
More realistically, you're on Lemmy while in the bathroom and you just have to unlock your phone.
If it happens with some level of regularity, I'm sure Google would either rate-limit the attacker or the phone number.
Hard disagree.
They will provoke an attack if they even think you're getting too close to their gooslings.
I've given them several meters and they still charged at me.
